The single-ride ticket will increase by 150 won, matching the transportation card basic fare, and will be available for 1,500 won. Fare-related benefits such as metropolitan area integrated transfer discounts and early bird discounts will continue.

However, since the basic fare differs by mode of public transportation, it is necessary to review fare-related policies in advance.
