Giải mã tàu điện ngầm Seoul

Với mỗi ga: lối ra nào dẫn đến đâu, thang máy ở chỗ nào, Wi-Fi tên là gì, và mẹo chuyển tuyến mà chúng tôi ước gì đã biết ngay từ lần đầu.

Các quy tắc và mô tả ga (điểm đến của lối ra, mẹo chuyển tuyến) bằng tiếng Anh.

6 quy tắc để đi như dân địa phương

T-money + what a ride costs
With a transit card a ride is ₩1,550 for the first 10 km (₩1,650 on a single-journey ticket), then +₩100 per 5 km — youth ₩900, children ₩550. The card itself costs roughly ₩3,000–4,000 at any convenience store depending on the design; that card price is not refundable, though you can claim the leftover balance back for a small fee. Reload at machines or the counter. We also issue a virtual T-money via the address card — coming soon.
Tap in AND out
Since 7 Mar 2026 skipping the exit tap automatically adds one base fare (adult ₩1,550 / youth ₩900 / child ₩550) to your NEXT ride, and it now applies across every metropolitan rail operator, not just Seoul Metro. Season passes, single-journey tickets and concession cards are exempt. If you forget, talk to a staff member at the station office.
Stand on the right, walk on the left
Escalator etiquette in Seoul. Busan less strict.
Priority seats — pink + dark blue
Pink seats are reserved for pregnant riders even when empty. Dark blue corner seats are for elderly / disabled. Locals avoid them by default.
No food / drink on trains
Coffee in a closed cup is tolerated; eating is not. Don't bring open street food.
Late-night routes
Most Seoul lines stop ~24:00. After that: N-buses (yellow) or Kakao T taxi.
