Gyeonggi Province has expanded the age range for K-Pass youth benefits. Previously, the youth benefit applied to those aged 19 to 34, but Gyeonggi Province has widened it to ages 19 to 39. As a result, Gyeonggi residents aged 35 to 39 can now also receive transportation subsidy benefits for the youth demographic.

This support targets Gyeonggi residents aged 35 to 39 who have subscribed to K-Pass. Gyeonggi residents aged 35 to 39 who were previously ineligible for youth benefits due to the former age criteria can receive the expanded youth standard if they meet the K-Pass subscription requirements.

How to Apply: Applications Accepted Year-Round

Applications can be submitted at any time, without a designated application period. Eligible individuals who wish to use the service must first obtain a K-Pass card, then sign up as a member through the K-Pass application or the official website. Afterward, they can proceed with the usage process by registering their issued card.

Notably, this system is not a separate new transportation card program, but rather an expansion of the youth age range applied to Gyeonggi residents within the existing K-Pass system. Therefore, before applying, it is necessary to verify one's registered residence, age, and K-Pass membership status.

Underlying Ordinance and Contact Information

The system is based on Article 15 of the 'Gyeonggi Province Ordinance on the Promotion of Public Transportation Convenience.' The administering agency is Gyeonggi Province, and detailed inquiries regarding application and support can be directed to the Gyeonggi Province Bus Policy Division.
