  • Subway is the best way to get around Seoul. Most of places of interests are within zone 1 (fare 700 won, around 60 cents) , but the fare structure is going to change in July 2004. Try to avoid rush hours as it's very crowded.

    Subway: Fast and Cheap

  • The fastest and cheapest way around Seoul is the subway and they also extend well past the boundries of the city. But they can pack they in so if you don't like tight enclosed spaces you may want to avoid.

  • The prices are very low, mainly if you come from Japan. :) For only 0.5USD you can travel even 40 stations on the subway. Although I do not know, how does it work if you have to change line, I do not think it is a big deal even if you have to but an other ticket for an other 50 cents.

  • The subway is great in Seoul. The trains are frequent, usually clean and it's easy to navigate your way around the subway system. You'll do a lot of stair climbing nadyou won't get a view, but you also won't get stuck in traffic.

    Subway maps are available just about everywhere.

  • This is the best way of travelling around Seoul as many popular districts and attractions lie adjacent to subway stations.

    Subway: Using T-money card for subway travel
  • By khwy1810 on November 30, 2004
  • Seoul Page by khwy1810
  • We made the mistake of purchasing the T moeny card for use in subway travel. The card, which can be purchased at the subway station, is supposed to give you discounts for subway rides.

    However, what they do not tell you is that any stored value in the card that is not used cannot be refunded at the subway station, but at designated convenience stores. When we purchased the card, which comes in denomination of 1,500 and 2,500 won, the subway staff proceeded to input a stored value of 8,000 won, which we were unable to fully utilised, and yet cannot get a refund.

    So my advice to you is to pay cash when travelling on the subway, and forget about the T-money card.

  • SUBWAY SUBWAY SUBWAY, although taxis are relatively cheap. Busses can be confusing, even for people that live here. Ask someone who knows, and see if they will go with you! Remember, traffic is ALWAYS bad, so taxi fares for even short rides can get expensive.

  • tAKIN the train is a must!! hahha to see the chaos the many faces of the Koreans!! sometimes they have like tv in there to watch fun commercials. lol. you can go anywhere using the train. very inexpensive and convenient. it can be a lil crowded during rush hours but again the ride is not too too long. just make sure if you are out late you have to catch the train before 11pm. I think thats when the last train ends.

    train rules:

    -at the end of the bus thats where the senior citizens so the ajusshi and ajumas sit.
    -Its good to offer your seat to the elders and to a pregnant woman.

    Subway: Bus to San Francisco

  • For getting to the city from the airport, there are taxis, a fast subway service and several bus services including the frequent City Express and Airport Express. But but at peak times It would be to use the subway to avoid traffic delays.
