Korea offers one of the most efficient and reliable transportation systems in the world. But if it’s your first time traveling in Korea, you might feel unsure about how to use public transportation. Here’s a practical guide by Korehalal Trip to help you navigate Korea’s public transport comfortably and confidently. 
 
1. Subway – Affordable, punctual, and safe

In major cities like Seoul and Busan, a single T-money card gives you access to all subway lines and buses.
Please note that subways and buses have designated seats for the elderly and pregnant women, so we kindly ask you to be mindful of this when using public transportation.
 What is a T-money Card? 
 The T-money card is a rechargeable transportation card that can be used on subways, buses, and even in taxis or convenience stores throughout Korea. It’s the easiest way to travel without needing to buy a ticket every time. 
 
 🛍️ Where to Buy a T-money Card: 

Convenience stores like GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, and Emart24 (look for the T-money logo)
Subway stations (at ticket vending or service machines)
Some Incheon Airport shops (look for “Transportation Card” signs)
 💳 How to Recharge (Top-up) the Card: 

At convenience stores (just ask the cashier)
At subway station recharge machines (available in English)
 🚇 How to Use: 

Simply tap the card on the reader when entering and exiting the subway or bus
The fare is automatically deducted
 
2. Bus – Great for exploring local neighborhoods

City buses are also T-money compatible and cover routes that subways don't reach, like small towns and hills.
Please make sure to check the departure and arrival times when using buses and subways.
3. Taxis – Private and time-saving

Taxis in Korea are safe, metered, and widely available. If you're traveling in a group or need to get to a mosque or halal restaurant quickly, taxis can be very convenient.
Most drivers do not speak English, so showing your destination in Korean (or using the app) is best.
4. Long-Distance Travel – KTX

The KTX (high-speed train) connects major cities like Seoul, Busan, and Jeonju. It's clean, spacious, and even offers quiet cars.
