Public Transportation in Seoul

Trnasportation Cards (T-Money & Cashbee). T-money and Cashbee are transportation cards that can be used on public buses and subways in several different metropolitan cities and locations throughout the nation. With this transportation card, travelers can save the hassle of purchasing single journey subway tickets for every ride and enjoy discounts on rides during transfers from one bus to another, one subway line to another, or from bus to subway or vice versa (within a transfer time limit). Convenience stores (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, , With Me, , Story Way, etc.) bearing the T-money or Cashbee logo in areas of use are listed above. When used with public transportation in Seoul, transfer discounts are available. The number of discounts is limited to four times a day, within a transfer time limit of 30 minutes (up to 1 hour from 21:00 to 07:00 next day). However, the transfer discount will not apply if transferring to the same numbered bus or re-entering the same subway station within 30 minutes. In addition, if you do not tap your card on the sensors as you get off the bus, you will not be able to benefit from the transfer discount.

City Bus. Buses in Seoul are classified by color to designate the type of bus: blue buses travel on major roads and run for relatively long distances through Seoul; green buses travel shorter distances and carry travelers between transfer points such as subway stations and longer bus routes; red buses are express buses that travel from Seoul to suburban areas; yellow buses operate on a closed circuit within a district of Seoul. Bus fare can be paid either by cash or transportation card when boarding. If using a transportation card, passengers can get a transfer discount when changing to the subway system or another bus line. To receive the discount, be sure to tap your card on the card reader by the exit doors before getting off the bus. Riders paying with cash cannot get the transfer discount so we highly recommend using a transportation card.

Subway. Seoul has nine major subway lines that run all throughout the city and even go into the suburbs and surrounding areas. It is a great system: the trains come about every 5 minutes and are well kept. As an added convenience, the signs are in both Korean and English.
