T-money card
T-money is the transit card for Seoul/Incheon metro, buses, and some taxis. Buy and top up at convenience stores or station machines.
There is a CU convenience store in the building next to Hotel AMY where you can buy and recharge T-money. Station shops and machines also sell cards.
Tap at the gate with enough balance. Transfers usually work with the same card when you tap again within the transfer window.
Single-use tickets exist, but a reloadable T-money card is easier if you will ride often. Mobile T-money is available on some phones.
Gates will not open if the balance is too low—top up before long trips to Seoul or the airport.
