How to get around Seoul (Part 2)...

Of course the cheapest way to get around Korea is on foot but that would rather be impractical.

The best way? Public transportation. 

Korea has a very efficient network of buses and MRT that goes throughout Seoul. I didn't experience any traffic problems when I was travelling. 

You would have to get a travel card to get around.

You can buy this card at convenience stores like GS25. 

These tickets cost 2,500 won and you have to load it up with credits before you can use it. 

If I remember correctly, I just loaded this up with about 20,000 won and used that for the entirety of my stay. 

The buses in Korea have two openings--one near the bus driver and the second one in the middle. Board the bus using the entrance near the bus driver, and exit using the middle opening. 

When using the Tmoney card on buses, tap it once when you board the bus and tap it again as you exit.
