Abstract

The integrated transfer fare system is aimed at revamping the public transportation system and reducing the burden of public transportation. The system was expanded to Seoul and Korail in 2004, Gyeonggi Province in 2007 and Incheon in 2009, completing the integrated transfer fare system in the metropolitan area and has been in operation for about 15 years. This paper presents the pending issue, effect and solution of the integrated transfer fare system on the side of Gyeonggi Province. Users will be charged based on the distance ratio when transferring, and the settlement between transportation means for transfer charges will be allocated as a percentage of the basic fare. While discounting users on transfer is provided, there are various problems, issues and issues behind the system’s operation. The major problems arise from increased financial burden due to increased transfer losses, higher basic charges for the same service, higher transfer rates against long-distance means, and lastly, there is no agency for mediation or arbitration if there is any disagreement over the terms of the agreement. Among the improvement measures are a change in the method of calculating transfer rates, improvement of transfer fare system, promotion of a change in the standard for calculating transfer losses, and establishment of a legal system related to the integrated transfer fare system.
