The T-money Card — Your Essential Transportation Payment Tool

How to Get and Use a T-money Card
- Where to buy: Purchase at any CU or GS25 convenience store at Incheon Airport upon arrival or at convenience stores throughout Seoul. Also available at station ticket machines. The card itself costs approximately 2,500 to 4,000 KRW depending on the design.
- How to load: Add credit at any subway station ticket machine or convenience store. Select the amount in increments of 1,000 KRW. For a typical 3 to 5 day Seoul trip load 20,000 to 30,000 KRW initially.

- How to use on bus: Tap the card on the reader at the front door when boarding and tap again at the back door when exiting. You must tap on both times or you will be charged a penalty fare.
- Transfer discount: When transferring between subway and bus within 30 minutes the transfer is free — you only pay the base fare for the first leg. This means you can take a subway to a station and transfer to a bus to reach your final destination for the price of a single fare.
- Remaining balance refund: Any remaining balance on your T-money card can be refunded at convenience stores (up to 20,000 KRW) or at the T-money headquarters. Small amounts under 20,000 KRW can be spent at convenience stores on snacks and drinks.
