Pay at General Stores

The Tmoney transportation balance is accepted on all subways, buses, and other forms of public transportation in Korea. With the Tmoney feature integrated into WOWPASS, there's no need to pay for single-journey subway tickets or purchase a separate transportation card.
Pay for Public Transportation

- In Korea, the most preferred method of payment is debit/credit cards over cash.
