Gwangju Transportation Corporation (President Cho Ikmun) will hold the "Traditional Market Usage Day" event on the 19th to revitalize local alley commercial districts and promote the use of urban rail among citizens.

This event will be held in conjunction with the "2025 Daein Art Night Market," which is themed "Midsummer Night's Gourmet Vacance." On the 19th, customers who present a receipt showing a purchase of 10,000 won or more at the event will receive a one-time free urban rail ticket, valid until December 31. Receipts can be presented at the Gwangju Transportation Corporation booth inside the night market.

Starting with this event, the corporation plans to sequentially operate the "Traditional Market Usage Day" program in connection with traditional markets near subway stations, such as Namgwangju Market in September, Yangdong Market in October, and Songjeong Station Market in November. The aim is to actively contribute to revitalizing the local economy and spreading a culture of public transportation use.

An official from the corporation said on the 14th, "We hope this event will help revitalize the alley economy and realize Gwangju as a 'Dajabo City,'" and added, "We ask for the interest and participation of local residents."
