Subway

Subway systems offer a convenient way of exploring metropolitan cities in Korea. Station names, ticket counters, and transfer signs are all clearly  

marked in English as well as Korea, the different lines are color-coded, and all trains have announced in English and Korea.

The subways themselves are clean, efficient, air-conditioned, and have automatic ticket dispensers.

Subway fares slightly differ by age/distance. Single Journey Transportations Cards are most suitable for one-time, one-way trips, 

while Multiple Journey Transportation Cards are most suitable for long-term visitors/residents who make multiple journeys.

Bus

In Seoul, buses are one of the most convenient and readily available forms of transportation.  

Buses in Seoul are classified by color according to travelling distance. Many roads in Seoul have a designated bus lane to promote and 

ensure efficient use of public transportation.

Taxi

In Korea, Taxis are plentiful, clean, safe, and above all inexpensive. They can be found at taxi stands in most busy city areas or hailed on the streets.

 There are also certain taxis that can be requested by phone. However, the fare is slightly higher than the taxis you flag down on the street. 

While most taxis operating in the Seoul area accept credit cards or even pre-paid public transportation cards, the ones in small province cities and 

other regions may take cash only. Keep this in mind and make sure to have some cash (in KRW) with you if you plan to use a cab in provincial cities. 

Basic fares can slightly vary from region to region. The taxi fare is calculated by distance and time. 

Train

Passengers trains operated by the Korean National Railroad are reasonably fast, reliable, and very inexpensive by world standards, 

The trains run on a strict schedule and are not affected by traffic congestion during the holiday seasons. An extensive network covers almost 

every part of the nation. Korean trains are classified based on their speed and the amenities offered onboard. The classifications are: 

KTX express trains, the non-express Saemaeul, Mugunghwa, Nuriro and tourism trains. Ticket prices depend on the classification of the train and distance traveled.
