T-money
T-money is a transportation card as well as a device used to pay for transportation fares, and, in some cases, transactions at convenience stores. The T-money function is often added onto various payment (credit/debit) and discount travel cards.T-money can be used on public buses and subways in several different metropolitan cities including Seoul-si, Gyeonggi-do region, Daejeon-si, Incheon-si and Busan-si(Not available in some areas). It offers 100 won off the basic cash fare, and still more when transferring from one bus to another, one subway line to another, or from bus to subway or vice versa (within a transfer time limit). Also, the remaining balance on the T-money card can be refunded after a 500-won service charge deduction. Moreover, T-money does away with the hassle of purchasing single journey subway tickets.

Transfer Discounts!
Transfer discounts are imposed on bus/subway fares only when using T-money. For instance, when transferring five times while traveling a total distance of 10㎞, you can either use T-money to pay the base rate of 1,050 won at the departure point and no additional charges at subsequent transfers, or use cash to pay the base cash rate of 1,150 won at each transfer, which would incur a total of 5,750 won (1,150 won x 5 transfers).Rule of thumb: In order to receive transfer discounts using T-money, you must place the card on the sensor when boarding and getting off a bus/subway.
