Attention
- You must use a Transportation Card to get a Transfer Discount.
※ Those who pay in cash are unable to receive a Transfer Discount. - To get the Transfer Discount, you must touch the Terminal by the exit with your Transportation Card when you get off.
- You may transfer as many as 2 times (i.e. you may board as many as 3 times altogether).
(e.g. Village/Neighborhood Bus ↔ City Bus, Village/Neighborhood Bus ↔ Metro, City Bus ↔ Metro ↔ Village/Neighborhood Bus, Village/Neighborhood Bus ↔ Metro ↔ Express Bus - If a transfer takes place between different means of transportation, you only need to pay the highest fare of the means of transportation used and the applicable Discount Fare
(Adults: 200 won, Teenagers: 130 won; Children: 50 won). - If 2 or more persons pay a fare with one Transportation Card, discounts will only be given to the person who touches the terminal with the Transportation Card on exiting the first (and second) means of transport.
- In the case of transfers between City buses or between Village Buses, if you transfer to the same no. bus, you cannot receive a Transfer Discount.
※ e.g. If you get off the No. 1 Nam-gu Village Bus, and take it again within 30 minutes, no Discount will be given. - If you use a Transportation Card that does not match your passenger type
(e.g. paying a teenager fare with an Adult Transportation Card), you cannot receive a Discount. - Transportation Cards issued by other local self-governing bodies (Gimhae, Yangsan, etc.) cannot currently be used
(service may be available at a later date after nation-wide compatibility is implemented). - If the remaining amount in the Transportation Card is insufficient, a Transfer Discount will not be granted.
- In case you have to transfer because your bus has broken down, touch the Terminal with your Transportation Card when you get off the vehicle, and do not touch the Terminal of the replacement Vehicle. Just ride it to the Transfer Destination and then touch the Terminal with the Transportation Card when you board the Transfer Vehicle.
※ A refund will be granted if the Transfer Waiting Time (total time from the moment you get off the out-of-service vehicle to the moment you board the transfer vehicle) exceeds 30 minutes. - You will not receive a Transfer Discount when you use the Airport Limousine Bus, or buses that belong to other self-governing bodies, such as those of Yangsan and Gimhae.
