Seoul expands shuttle service for people with disabilities

Seoul's shuttle service for people with disabilities has been expanded to include nearby Chungcheong and Gangwon provinces. Operated by the Seoul Facilities Corporation, the service provides three buses and four vans for individuals with disabilities, their guardians, and state organizations. Buses can be used for up to three days nationwide, while vans were previously limited to single-day use within Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province. Under the new policy, vans can now be used for up to two days in the broader region. The revised rules allow van operations with as few as three passengers, including one in a wheelchair, down from the previous requirement of 80% occupancy. Officials attributed the changes to increased demand, citing usage rising from 2,464 in 2023 to 5,227 in 2025.
