Assemblyman Taeyoungho, "Amendment to the Act on Improving Mobility Convenience for Transportation Vulnerable Passed in the Plenary Session"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Tae Young-ho, a member of the People Power Party, announced on the 19th that the "Act on the Promotion of Mobility Convenience for Transportation Disadvantaged Persons" amendment, which enables transportation disadvantaged persons such as the disabled and the elderly to use bus-related passenger facilities like bus stops more conveniently, was reflected as an alternative in the National Assembly Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee and passed the plenary session of the National Assembly.

According to the "2018 Survey on the Mobility Convenience of Transportation Disadvantaged Persons" released in June last year, buses were identified as the primary means of transportation used by transportation disadvantaged persons such as the disabled and the elderly when going out. However, satisfaction with city buses and bus-related passenger facilities such as bus stops and bus terminals was below average.

Rep. Tae said, "In the amended law, when establishing a plan to promote mobility convenience for transportation disadvantaged persons, a bus stop maintenance plan considering the accessibility of transportation disadvantaged persons was additionally reflected," and added, "Road management authorities can take necessary measures such as maintaining bus stops and roads when needed to improve accessibility for transportation disadvantaged persons."
