To be able to travel by bus or subway, even taxi, you should purchase a Transportation card.
There are two ways to buy a transport card.
One of them is the recharging machines in the subway stations, some vending machines provide the option to buy a travel card, the price being 4000 KRW.
A second option is from GS 25, CU, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop, With Me, Buy The Way, Emart 24, and Story Way stores, where the price varies from model to model starting with 3000 KRW and reaching up to 7000 KRW.
At each automatic recharging machine, those in the subway, there is the possibility to supply a transport card with a maximum amount of 50,000 won, at once, but at each of the stores mentioned above, you can also supply the card only with cash.
Another option, a little more complicated, would-be ATMs at the bank, but not all of them have this option and sometimes they only accept T-money Mobile.
The transport card is validated every time you get on and off the bus or every time, you enter and leave the platform on the subway.
