T-money: one card for subway, bus and taxi
Tap one card on every bus and subway in Korea and get transfer discounts.
- Buy a T-money card at any convenience store (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven) or a subway ticket machine.
- Top it up with cash at the store counter or at subway machines.
- Tap when you get on and off buses. If you skip the tap when you get off, you can lose the free transfer.
- Transfers between bus and subway inside the time limit are discounted, so always tap with the same card.
- Many Korean debit/credit cards and phone wallets also work as transit cards.
