It’s Cheaper to Take Cab Sometimes

Orange Taxi = taxi with foreign languages service

If you are traveling in a group of 3-4 person, that’s it. If you are using a T-Money card, the basic fare
within 10 km is 1050 won, regardless of the number of stations. So if you are travelling in a group of
4 and you are heading to somewhere within 3-5 stations away, it is cheaper to take cab. Regular taxis
start at 2400 won for the first two kilometers and are metered at 100 won every 159 meters. For
example, to get to Myeongdong from Seoul Station, a standard cab fare is about 3000 – 3500 won. If
we use the subway, it would have cost us 4200 won.

That’s about it! I think I’m beginning to sound like an ajjuma (aunty in Korean) – saved 5%, taking
cab is cheaper by 1000 won, bla bla bla. But every penny counts no?
