This led to protests online such as ‘Is the carpooling ban notice real?”,

Paid transportation refers to receiving transport fees and providing services, and sharing rides among colleagues out of goodwill is allowed. I regret that it was misinterpreted as favoring a specific group. Chungju City considers the students of the National Police College as family.”‘,
