was made, do pregnant women really feel cared for?
This year alone, 4,700 complaints have been filed with the Seoul Transportation Corporation about inconvenience related to the seat for pregnant women.
It's about 500 cases a month.
According to a survey by the Korea Population and Health Welfare Association last year, four out of ten pregnant women who used the seat said it was "not easy to use."
On the other hand, you can often find articles on used trading platforms that buy badges for pregnant women.
If you're a pregnant woman, you're going to pay for a badge that you can get issued, so who and what are you going to use it for?
Some sites have blocked the transaction itself like this.
There are also suggestions to strictly regulate the re-issuance of pregnant women's badges or check whether it is possible with a maternity notebook.
However, it would be most desirable to establish a caring civic consciousness as the seat is a "consideration seat."
We're wrapping up 2 News now while listening to the stories of public transportation officials.
[Koo Jong-sung / Director of Public Relations, Seoul Transportation Corporation: If you force someone to be considerate, there may be situations in which you may be concerned about gender or generational conflicts. Consideration should be expressed as a mature civic consciousness, and when forced, there may be problems and it should be so that civic consciousness grows steadily and becomes our lifestyle habit.
