One of the challenges for the volunteers is shuttle transportation, both to our work shifts and to see any of the events.
The transportation routes aren't set up such that I know I am on Route #12 and there is a bus once an hour on the :15. I just know I'm on Route #12 and that there are 3 times in the morning I can catch a bus, then no more until late afternoon.
This is great when I go to my shifts, but not when I'm done at 2. If I want to go to an event afterwards, I don't have an easy option. I can't just take Route #27, for example. And once I get to the venue, there are limited options back to Sokcho without having to pay $100 one-way cab fare.
Some individuals are being assigned shifts without transportation scheduled. I have a shift next Saturday at 2 p.m. but the last shuttle leaves at 9:30, so I'll have about 3 hours to kill before my shift starts.
If there are alternatives, they aren't being communicated. So, we're having to be very go-with-the-flow, which some volunteers are having a hard time with. Especially those in accommodations in more remote areas where there isn't much to do.
