As ‘K-Pass‘, which replaces the existing economical public transportation.”>transportation card business, began service, the card industry began competing to attract members. Unlike the Climate Companion Card, which is a flat-rate ticket that can only be used in Seoul, this card can be used in most local governments, drawing more attention from public transportation users.
According to the card industry on the 1st, K-Pass is a transportation card that returns a certain percentage of the amount spent the next month if you regularly use public transportation (city/village buses, subways, metropolitan buses, GTX) more than 15 times a month. The general public (age 35 or older) can receive a 20% discount, the youth (age 19-34) can receive a 30% discount, and the low-income group (basic welfare recipients/lowest income earners) can receive a 53.3% discount.
If a user spends an average of 70,000 won per month, the average person will save 14,000 won, young people will save 21,000 won, and low-income people will save 37,000 won. It is around 170,000 to 440,000 won per year. In addition to K-Pass benefits, each card company provides additional benefits depending on card usage records. With a check card, the accumulated amount is refunded to the account linked to the card. For credit cards, the accumulated amount is automatically deducted from the next month’s payment. In addition, prepaid rechargeable cards can be recharged by the amount accumulated through the card/PaySa app.

An official from the card industry said, “The Climate Companion Card can only be used in Seoul, requires spending more than 62,000 won, and requires at least 41 subway rides. Also, even if you take the bus in Seoul, you have to pay an additional fee if you get off at Gyeonggi or Incheon. On the other hand, the K-Pass can be used in most cities other than Seoul, and it applies to GTX as well as metropolitan buses that go to and from the city. “If you ride more than this, you can get a refund,” he said.
