Seoul Infrastructure Corporation to run priority dispatch service
Rides available for arrival at exam venues and return trips home
Advance reservations accepted by phone through Thursday; same-day bookings also allowed
The Seoul Infrastructure Corporation announced Thursday that it will operate a priority dispatch service for disabled students taking the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test.
The service is open to registered customers of the Seoul Disability Call Taxi — those with severe mobility impairments — and reservations can be made through Thursday, the day of the exam. Students can apply by phone and will receive priority dispatch both for arriving at their exam venues and for returning home after the test.
The corporation has already sent text messages to disabled test-takers and official notices to disability organizations to publicize the service. Students who miss the advance reservation window can still apply on the day of the exam and receive priority dispatch, it added.
"We hope this priority dispatch service will allow disabled students who face difficulties getting around to take the exam without any inconvenience or worry," corporation President Han Guk-young said. "We will continue to expand public services that citizens can feel in their everyday lives."
A total of 551,864 students are registered to sit this year's exam, 2,310 fewer than last year.
