The Climate Companion Card is an eco-friendly public transportation pass introduced by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, allowing unlimited use of subways, buses, and the public bicycle system, Ttareungi, for a fixed monthly fee. Recently, Seoul has expanded the discount eligibility for the Climate Companion Card to include adolescents and has strengthened transportation fare support policies for both youth and the elderly. This article provides a detailed overview of the 2025 changes to the Climate Companion Card's support targets and the comprehensive transportation fare policies for youth and the elderly.
1. Expansion of Climate Companion Card Discounts – Including Adolescents in Fare Support
Seoul has extended the discount benefits of the Climate Companion Card, previously available to individuals aged 19 to 39, to now include adolescents aged 13 to 18. This expansion allows adolescents to receive the same discount benefits as young adults, thereby reducing their transportation cost burden. This measure is expected to promote public transportation use among adolescents and alleviate their economic strain.
2. Relaxation of Wrist Doctor 9988 Age Restrictions – Enhanced Health Management Support for Youth
The participation age for Seoul's health management program, 'Wrist Doctor 9988,' has been lowered from 19 to 18 years old. This change enables more young individuals to access health management services, contributing to the overall health improvement of the youth demographic.
3. Extension of Village Bus Usage Time – Improved Mobility for the Elderly
Seoul has extended the maximum usage time for village buses from 1 hour to 2 hours. This adjustment reduces additional fare burdens for elderly citizens requiring long-distance travel and enhances their mobility convenience. Such policies are anticipated to positively impact the social participation and activity range of the elderly population.
4. Elimination of Income Requirements for Lifelong Education Vouchers – Expanded Educational Opportunities for All Age Groups
Seoul has removed the income requirements for issuing lifelong education vouchers, previously limited to basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income groups, now extending support to the general public. This change allows both youth and the elderly to access lifelong education opportunities without financial burden, promoting capacity building and social participation across all generations.
