Seoul: 60 new policies for H2 2026 — longer fare transfers, robotaxis, relaxed housing rules
South KoreaEast AsiaOn the globe
Seoul (mayor Oh Se-hoon, People Power Party) published a citizen-facing digital guide of 60 policies for H2 2026: the transit transfer window doubles to two hours, Level 4 robotaxis launch in Sangam in November, housing vouchers extend to low-income students, and penalty points for families reapplying for public housing after marriage or childbirth are removed.
A conservative-run megacity treating service delivery and transparency — a twice-yearly "what changes for you" guide — as the political product, and removing perverse family-formation penalties in social-housing allocation.
