Travel Information of Korea/Public transportation in Korea 2020. 2. 5. 12:00

Hi Filipino friends.

Let's find out how to use the subway in Seoul and how to pay for it

The subway in Seoul can go to most parts of Gyeonggi Province as well as Seoul, and even Chungcheongnam-do. and Gangwon-do, Nami Island in Chuncheon, which Filipinos like, can also go by subway. The Seoul subway is not only clean, but it is very convenient and very cheap. you can use the subway by receiving a T-money card ( pre-paid ), a credit card ( deferred payment ) and a one-time card. T-money transportation cards are available on subways/ convenience stores and the internet, and the price ranges from 2,000 won to 5000 won. The price difference seems to be a difference in the image of the card and can be used in taxi, bus and subway after charging. A one-time card can be issued through the terminal, and you can select your destination and pay the amount that includes the deposit (500 won). you can get your deposit (500 wom ) back if you put it in the deposit refund machine after you get off the subway

Over 50km : Add 100 won per 8km (4 php)

The subway service hours vary slightly from station to station, but most of them run from 6am to 12pm

The farthest place to go is 178km , and adult fare is 3,650 won ,145 php. This is farther than the distance from Angeles to Tagaytai, but the price is really cheap. haha ( Most people who move from Seoul to Seoul do not exceed 2,000 won, 79 php )

There is a machine in the subway station where you can charge a T-money card and buy a one-time card. it is not difficult to choose to English, Japanese and Chinese. You can charge the T-money card to the desired amount. one-time card will determine the amount when you select the destination. and if you put in the money you get the card

I think the best transportation for travelers is the subway, Because taxis are expensive and city buses are many and complex. But the subway is very easy, simple and inexpensive.Also, the subway has the advantage of going everywhere in Seoul.
