Seoul Bus and Subway Fares to Rise

Starting February 25th, downtown Seoul bus and subway fares will increase by 150 won.

Consequently, public transportation card holders will be charged 1050 won on downtown (blue and green) buses as well as on subway systems; 1,850 won on red bus; and 750 won for maeul (town) buses. Accordingly, prices of Subway Commuter’s Pass (for multiple journeys) and Single Journey Tickets will go up to 46,200 won from 39,600 won, and 1,150 won from 1,000 won, respectively.

The fare increase applies to adults only. Fares for children and senior citizens will remain the same.
