首尔市议会通过70岁以上老人免费乘坐公交车条例

首尔市议会周三通过了一项关于为70岁及以上市民提供免费公交乘车服务的条例。该措施以69票赞成、1票反对、5票弃权的结果获得通过。

首尔市议会周三通过了一项条例,要求为70岁及以上市民引入免费公交乘车服务。该提案要求根据市长制定的标准,对这些老年人乘坐市区公交车和社区公交车的全部或部分费用进行补贴,该条例在市议会全体会议上以69票赞成、1票反对、5票弃权获得通过。

补贴范围和实施方式等具体细节将由市政府在日后决定。市政府此前也一直在寻求将免费乘坐地铁的资格年龄从目前的65岁提高到70岁。

为老年人提供免费公交乘车服务是首尔市长吴世勋在6月3日地方选举期间的竞选承诺。此举旨在为居住在没有地铁站区域的民众扩大公共交通服务。然而,市政府表示,为了最大限度地减少财政负担,免费乘车次数可能会限制在每月14次。

据估算,提供上述免费乘车服务每年将耗资约525亿韩元(约3400万美元),但可以通过提高免费地铁乘车年龄所带来的572亿韩元额外收入来抵消。吴世勋计划在下个月初举行公开听证会,以收集老年人、专家和公众的意见。如果能尽早达成社会共识,市政府预计新制度最早将于明年实施,但目前尚未设定具体的时间表。
