Transportation in Seoul


 There are variety choices of transportation in Seoul, such as the city bus, subway and taxi.

So here are some comparison between city bus, subway and taxi based on my research:

     1.   City Bus:
        ·      All are written in Hangeul (Korean Characters).
        ·      Fare
   o   Basic Fare (for 1st 10km) : 1,000 Won (Using T-Money: 7,650 Won)
   o   For every 5km after the 1st 10km: 100 Won



    2.   Subway:
       ·      Based on some tourists’ experience, subway is the easiest transportation to use.
       ·      All are written in Hangeul (Korean Characters) and Romanization.
       ·      Announcement inside the subway are announced both in Korean and English.
       ·      Fare: 1,000 Won (with T-Money: 900 Won)


    3.   Taxi:
       ·      There are 2 types of taxi in Seoul, which are Regular and Mabeom (Deluxe)
       ·      Regular Taxi’s Basic Fare: 2,400 Won
       ·      Mabeom Taxi’s Basic Fare: 4,500 Won





Based on the data that I have compared above, Subway is the most easiest and convenient transportation to use and suitable for tourists because they also used English for their announcement and signs.
