Minister Byeon replied “Yes” when asked, “The Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is in charge of roads, railroads, and airports as well as housing. Have you ever taken a subway, taxi, or bus?”
Then, when Congressman Kim asked, “What is the basic fare for a taxi, for the bus,” Secretary Byeon hesitated for a moment and said, “Because I do it with a card…”
A laughter burst into the hall, and when Rep. Kim asked again, “Would you like to pay for the card?”, Minister Byeon replied, “I don’t check the charge. Usually, it’s about 1,200 won.”
Then Congressman Kim said, “The basic fare for a taxi is 3800 won.”
Rep. Kim gave Finnzan, saying, “Can the Minister in charge of transportation policy be able to properly perform the post of minister without knowing the basic public transportation fee?” and Minister Byeon did not respond further.
The basic fare for a medium-sized taxi varies by region and is 3800 won in Seoul. The basic fare for city buses in Seoul is 1,200 won and 1,300 won in cash when paid with a transportation card.
