The story of a passenger in his 80s who could not pay the train fare 30 years ago due to unavoidable circumstances is known and is attracting attention.
According to the Busan Transportation Corporation today (8th), Mr. A (in his 80s) recently paid back the fare he had not paid for 350 won with 300,000 won.
In the middle of last month, Mr. A contacted the Busan Transportation Corporation through his daughter, Mr. B.
Mr. B said, "About 30 years ago, her father had an unpaid fare on the city railroad," and she said, "I want to pay the fare for use."
According to Mr. B, Mr. A, who visited Busan for tourism 30 years ago, got on the train without a ticketing procedure as the departure time of the train was approaching after completing his schedule.
After getting off at Busan Station, he explained what he was doing to the station staff, and was able to safely board the train to Seoul with the staff's consideration.
After that, Mr. A, who was looking for various ways to pay the freight, was recently contacted by the construction company with the help of his daughter, Mr. B.
The corporation instructed the customer A to pay 350 won, but the next day, Mr. A transferred 300,000 won to the construction account through Mr. B.
The corporation contacted these women several times to return the remaining amount after deducting the fare, but Mr. B refused again, revealing that it was an action to ease the burden on her father's heart.
The corporation and Mr. B agreed to donate 299,650 won out of 300,000 won to the local community, excluding the fare of 350 won.
Han Moon-hee, president of Busan Transportation Corporation, said, "Thank you to the customer who paid the fare by contacting the corporation without forgetting the past."
