This post mainly about the transportation card that charges the passenger at cheaper fare
+ cheaper fare for transit within a period of time (15 mins if not mistaken)
These transportation card can be used on both subway and bus
everything written here are based on my personal experience and they might be incorrect
These cards are something like Touch n' Go in Malaysia
You might don't need to buy these as some student card built in with these functions
For those who just arrived in Incheon Airport (in order)
- rush to the subway if you don't wanna stay overnight in the airport, the subway will be closing at 11pm (around that time) and it'll take u about an hour + (since you are carrying luggage and it took us 1+ hour to reach Seoul University Station in Line 2) to reach the city
- buy T-money card at a convenient store while you are on your way to the subway station
- charge money into the T-money at the subway station entrance
- one ride in subway will normally spend 1,000 won, so you can plan yourself on how much you want to deposit
- get a map of the subway if you can and leave the Airport at once (there's only one ride to take, as it is the last station) or here (time and everything can be checked inside)
- when transit is needed, you can find elevator in almost every station, it'll ease you from carrying your luggage by walking the stair
- hope you reached the destination before the subway station closed
For those who are going to Busan
- The T-money card I mentioned before still can be use in Busan but it's hard to reload your card. You can only do so in city area.
- Else you can buy an extra Mybi card for Busan and surrounded area (some outskirts don't accept T-money)
- Mybi card are available as phone accessories, but you need to beware as some of them are for kids (especially those really nice looking and cute one), kids fare are cheaper and you might get caught for using it
I hope these will help you a lot for new arrivals
