#T-money Card
T-money cards are essential when using public transportation in Korea. You can use it to take the bus, subway, and even a taxi. The fare is cheaper when using the T-money card over cash, and you can receive discounts when transferring from different forms of public transportation. Purchasing and charging T-money cards can be done at subway stations or convenience stores that offer “Transportation Cards & Charging Stations.” You can choose an array of T-money cards from characters to celebrities.

#Transferring
Most of the major cities in Korea have several subway lines. If you carefully look at the subway
map and transfer, you can easily arrive at your destination. You can receive a discount if you
transfer from the subway to a bus or a bus to another bus. Discounts are only applied when
you use the transportation card, and you must tap the card before exiting the public transit.
The allotted time to transfer to receive a discount is 30 minutes (60 minutes from 21:00~07:00) upon exiting the public transit, and the discount does not apply when you take the same bus route.

#Bus Stop & Bus Information
Depending on the bus route you are trying to take, the bus stop will either be located in the center or on the side of the road, so be sure to check before getting on the bus. Bus stops usually have a “bus stop display.” In a glance, you will know the bus route information such as the location of the bus and the estimated time of arrival.

#Express Bus & Intercity Bus

If you want to go to another city by bus, take the express bus or intercity bus. The express bus stops at a rest stop for long-distance rides. Other than that, the express bus will go non-stop on the highway until reaching its destination. Although it is for the same destination, the intercity bus will make more stops along the way compared to the express bus so the travel time is longer and the bus fare is cheaper.
