Check Climate Card Tourist Pass Types and Boundaries Before Seoul Travel

How Are the Pass Durations and Fares Structured?

You can choose from 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 5-day, and 7-day passes depending on how long you stay in Seoul.

The data was checked on October 26, 2026. Public bike rentals through Ttareungi are excluded from all short-term passes, so plan to use them purely for subways and city buses. The discounted KRW 13,000 youth fare is offered exclusively on the 7-day pass for travelers aged 13 to 18.

How Far Do the Subway and Bus Boundaries Extend?

The pass grants unlimited rides across Seoul subway lines 1 through 9, the Sillim Line, Ui-Sinseol Line, Suin-Bundang Line, Gyeongchun Line, Gyeongui-Jungang Line, and the AREX section between Seoul Station and Gimpo Airport.

At Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 and 2 stations, only exiting the train is allowed. You can use the card to travel from Seoul Station or Hongik University Station to catch a flight, but you cannot use it when boarding at Incheon Airport to enter Seoul.

For buses, all Seoul-licensed regular city buses, community village buses, and late-night Owl buses are covered. Check whether the bus license plate or route plate indicates Seoul before stepping on board.

Which Lines and Transit Options Are Excluded?

The Shinbundang Line and GTX express train lines cannot be used with this pass. Tapping in or out at stations outside Seoul in Gyeonggi-do or Incheon will cause card errors or additional standard fare charges.

Red regional express buses, airport limousine buses, and buses licensed in Gyeonggi-do or Incheon are also excluded from the unlimited ride benefit. Look at station turnstile signs and bus route boards before boarding.

Where Can You Buy and Reload the Physical Card?

You can purchase a physical card for KRW 3,000 at customer safety centers inside Seoul Subway Lines 1 through 8 or at nearby convenience stores.

1. Locate a ticket vending and card reload kiosk inside the subway station.
2. Place the physical card onto the designated card reader tray and select the short-term pass option on screen.
3. Choose your desired duration among the 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 5-day, or 7-day options.
4. Complete the payment using cash or a credit card.

The pass remains valid from 04:00 on the day of recharge until the final scheduled service of your final day. Domestic residents and registered foreign residents using Android smartphones can also issue and reload a mobile card directly through the Mobile Tmoney application.
