Anseong Expands 'Youth Safe Return Home Taxi' Citywide... Service Now Available to 11th Graders

High School Juniors and Seniors Citywide Now Eligible in Anseong
Youth-Inspired Program Funded Through Hometown Love Donations

Anseong City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Bora), announced on October 6 that it has expanded the eligibility for the 'Youth Safe Return Home Taxi' (Anseong Youth Call) service, which assists teenagers returning home late at night after evening study sessions, to include all areas of the city starting today.

Originally, only high school juniors and seniors living in rural areas were permitted to use the service, but starting on this date, the residential area restriction has been lifted, allowing 11th and 12th grade students throughout Anseong City to apply.

Anseong Youth Call is a project that supports safe nighttime transportation for teenagers. The pilot operation began at 8 p.m. on October 1. On the second day of operation, October 2, the first student used the service to return home.

This student said, "I was always worried about getting home late at night, but thanks to Anseong Youth Call, I was able to arrive home comfortably. I am grateful and feel reassured that such a program exists."

This project was developed by incorporating an idea proposed directly by local youth into city policy and is funded through designated donations from the Hometown Love Donation program.

Applications can be submitted through the 'Participation & Communication - Recruitment Announcements' section on the Anseong City website. For more details, inquiries can be made to the city's civil service call center.
