Purchase a T-money card (3,000 won) at a convenience store and recharge it to freely use subway and buses. • Subway: 9 lines connect all of Seoul, operating from 5:30 AM to midnight. • Bus: Tap your card at the front door when boarding, and at the back door when getting off. • Fare: Base fare is 1,550 won for subway, 1,500 won for bus. Subway varies by distance, bus by color. • Transfer: Transfers are free within 30 minutes. (Subway → Bus, Bus → Subway both work.)

• Korean taxis are relatively safe with reasonable fares. • There's a base fare with late-night surcharge. (Short trips average 5,000-10,000 won) • Kakao Taxi app is recommended. (English supported)
