Integrated Transfer Rules Offer Free Connections Within 30 Minutes

· Reviewed by the editor

The Seoul metropolitan transit system enables passengers to transfer between subways and city buses without paying a duplicate base fare. Commuters must tap their card upon exiting and board the next transit service within 30 minutes, or within 60 minutes during nighttime hours between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM. The discount program covers up to four transfers across five total legs, charging only cumulative distance surcharges.

So what

Always tap your transit card on the reader when exiting the subway or bus so your subsequent connecting ride remains discounted.
