🚨 Gyeonggi-do Bus Fares Increasing from October 25th! (feat. Will my wallet be okay? ㅠㅠ)
Everyone, have you heard this news? 😭😭
We're facing the unfortunate news that Gyeonggi-do bus fares, our precious mode of daily transportation, will be increasing starting with the first bus on Saturday, October 25th. I was quite surprised to hear this. While a 200 KRW increase might not seem like much, when it accumulates, it becomes a significant amount, doesn't it? ㅠㅠ
So today, I'd like to precisely inform you of the new fare schedule and discuss our approach (?) to using public transportation moving forward.

First, let's accurately check the most important fare increases (based on transportation card):

* Cash fares will also increase.
* There is no change in Express Seated Child fares."You can see that most fares are increasing by 200 KRW. The Express Seated Adult fare, in particular, is increasing by 400 KRW... This is a fairly large increase, which is quite shocking ㅠㅠ"
In an Era of Rising Prices, What About Our Public Transportation?
Honestly, they say nothing seems to be staying the same price these days, but with daily bus fares going up, it's bound to be a burden for everyone, from office workers to students. Even just calculating a month's bus fare adds up to a significant amount, doesn't it?
"I also use the bus frequently for my commute, and I'm quite worried about having to re-plan my monthly transportation budget. Sob."
Of course, there might be complex reasons like operational difficulties for bus companies or rising fuel costs, but it's an unavoidable reality that ordinary citizens will bear a heavier burden.
