Metropolitan Subway Base Fare Set at 1,550 Won
· Reviewed by the editor
The adult base subway fare across Seoul and the capital area is 1,550 KRW for distances up to 10 kilometers when paid with a transit card. Travelers purchasing single-journey cash tickets pay 1,650 KRW plus a mandatory 500 KRW card deposit that must be reclaimed at automated refund machines. Additional distance surcharges apply at 100 KRW per 5 kilometers traveled beyond the initial 10-kilometer section.
So what
Pick up a rechargeable transit card like T-money at an airport convenience store to save 100 KRW per ride and avoid manual ticket deposit returns.
