The deposit of 10,000 won paid at the time of subscription will be returned upon termination of the service.

Gyeonggi-do’s preferential transportation card G-PASS is a system that reduces public transportation costs for seniors aged 65 and older and further improves the quality of life, and I hope many people will benefit from it. Currently, the preferential transportation card can only ride the subway and subway for free, and it is inconvenient to charge and use it when using the bus. It is said that it will be implemented, so I hope that it will be implemented as soon as possible to receive more benefits on transportation expenses.
