Transfer
When passengers transfer from a subway to a bus or a local bus, the transit fare is computed according to the combined distance scale rate system in which all sections or zones that have been traversed are added together. (Instead of paying a separate fare upon transferring, passengers are charged an extra fare for the additional distance they have traveled beyond their fare zone.)
The basic fare applies to a traveled distance of up to 10km. Beyond this point passengers will be charged an extra fare for every 5km traveled.
Applied Circumstances;
- Seoul buses (main roads, local lines, circular, town, metropolitan), Gyeonggi buses
(regular city buses, town, express, direct express)
- Incheon buses (metropolitan, express, direct main roads, main roads, local lines)
and transfers within the subway.
What Methods to Apply;
- Passengers need to place their traffic card on the transit card reader whenever they get on or off.
※ If they do not place their card on the sensor they will lose all of their free transfer privileges.
(They will be required to pay a separate fare for each mode of transportation they use.)
- If they switch to other modes of transportation within 30 minutes of their previous use of public
transportation, they will be subject to the total combined distance scale rates.
(If they get on after 30 minutes it is regarded as an independent journey and a separate fare is charged.)
※ But, taking early morning or the night into consideration, the length of time allowed for transfer will be
extended to 60 minutes between 21:00 pm and 07:00 am.
