Question
What should I use for transportation?
Answer
We recommend getting the Cashbee Transportation Card. It is recommended to load the card with ~20,000 won depending on how long you are staying in Korea. Below is how to use/get the Cashbee card. Price From 2,500 won Retail locations Convenience stores (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, Ministop, etc.) bearing the Cashbee logo in areas of use listed above. Reload & refund locations All retail locations * It is very important to note that it can only be reloaded and purchased with CASH * Card price and service fee of 500 won are not refundable. Travelers are advised to load their card in small amounts as the refund process for over 50,000 won can be complicated and time-consuming. How to use To use the card for public transportation in Seoul, you must tap your card when boarding and getting off buses or entering and exiting subway stations. Bus Upon boarding the bus, place your card on the sensor located at the front of the bus until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom. Before getting off the bus, place the transportation card on the sensor located at the rear doors of the bus until it beeps. If you do not tap your card before getting off the bus, you will not be able to benefit from the transfer discount. Subway Place your card on the sensor located on top of the subway turnstile until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom. If you are transferring, the amount charge may appear as “0” (zero). Upon arriving at your destination, tap your card at the sensor on the turnstile again in order to exit. Taxi In a taxi with the Cashbee logo affixed, inform the taxi driver that you want to pay with a transportation card, tap your card on the terminal. You can also pay with your card or cash for the taxi.
