Paying for Korean subways and buses in 2026: Tmoney, Climate Card, WOWPASS or your own card?

Which card fits your trip length, your route from the airport, and whether you carry cash, with the 2026 changes dated

Most visitors should start with a Tmoney card topped up with cash. A Climate Card pass pays off on Seoul stays of three to seven days at three or more paid rides a day, even counting the 3,000 won card. Foreign cards can buy passes at newer machines but can't be tapped at the gates yet.
