In a satisfaction survey, 97% of respondents rated the program positively.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the rise in usage extended beyond school commutes to include trips to private tutoring centers, cultural venues and leisure activities. City officials say this reflects improved mobility and an overall increase in demand for public transit.<\/p>\n<p>The policy reduced city bus fares to 100 KRW (approximately $0.075) per ride, aiming both to ease households&#8217; cost burdens and to expand use. Officials say operating the system on transit cards allowed them to incorporate collected data into policymaking and improve administrative efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The city plans to adjust bus schedules and other services to address peak-period demand and intends to continue expanding data-driven, customized transit policies going forward.<br
