Korean Subways 2

[macabelik]

Same system in Chile, but the card is plastic like a credit card with a barcode.

[zinamaspana]

Here in Japan, you can do this with your cell phone. You can also use your cell phone as a credit card, debit card, train, subway and plane ticket, house key, ID and coupon. You can also buy things from vending machines with your phone. It's called "Osaifu Keitai". :)

[misskarrot]

I must say the dutch system is way cooler, I mean you just quickly swipe your card and the doors just slide to the sides and walk through, only problem is if you loose your ov chipkaart (the public transport card) you can't leave the metro station, so your pretty much stuck in there till someone kindly allows you to sneak through the gates along with them >O<

[MakeableDESIGNS]

LOL, thats the same system that they use in Hongkong. (Octopus) 

[mountedantman10]

Woah! So in 2008, they still used paper cards? Now we have plastic cards that u just tap on the gates instead.

[fisho3211456]

^___^ Or jumping over the bar works too.

[MusicForLivin]

Come to India, u can travel in trains for free. No problem! :P

[imymemineswe]

We have almost the same system in Sweden

[azlaa]

Oh..I went once in the subway in Korea and my boyfriend got me out some card. It wasn't a ticket and it was good only once and when we went out, he went to a machine and put it back in and got some money back lol

[fizzpop011]

So the T-Money Card is just like the Octopus Card and the other ticket works like the Single-Journey Ticket in Hong Kong's MTR...only that the Octopus Card refills a bit faster...

...now if only they would hurry up and implement this on the New York Metro...

[joshwatwright]

almost identical in montreal !! :3

[Mona666xD]

This systems exactly the same as Melbourne's

[waisee80]

Wah!!! They allow dogs on the public transport... which some countries in Asia should allow.

[dhenzhelle06]

..this info is great! kamsa hamida!

[ginywiny]

we have almost the same thing in montreal

[SingingHylianAngel]

We have something like this in the Bay Area where I live. San Fransisco FTW!!! It's called BART and you can buy individual tickets that you can recharge at the station or "clipper cards" that you manage online.

[boriquadominicana]

they need that system over here in new york lol

[SoshiLoveable]

the ticket machine in my country annoys the hell outta me, i put $10 and i have put it in a few times LOL

[AngeloMellow]

That's like the BART system at San Francisco

[heenfinite]

i want the same system for Manila Philippines LRT/MRT sooooooooo bad

[KairiKH21]

Why Dont we(United States) sell Pocky sticks in Vending Machines! {especially for 70 cents}. :3

[psfanboy1609]

the 2nd part system charging is the same as philippines subways

[ricefarmer912]

ah, same system with the MRT subway in Taipei

[CARPEDISM]

You could do that with your cell phone too~bus, taxi, subway even grocery shopping~ and also whole city is wifi~

[sarahneplevrednav]

it's more complicated then I taught xD I'll have to be carefull^^

[xoxkuroshitsujigrell]

Not much like Bart here in San Francisco

[MauiFan123]

Kinda like the Orca adds here in Seattle USA

[tokee1234567]

@MauiFan123 yes, Korea has had this system for almost 15 yrs now I think. you can practically use your bank debit/credit card for scanning in the metro/bus, makes stuff a lot easier.

[Gnomeslayer778]

is 10,000 "Won" or whatever their currency is there, alot over there? or is it still like american/australian money where 1 dollar is worthless? o.O'

[zEricFaux]

@Gnomeslayer778 10,000 won is kinda = $10 or $9

[Gnomeslayer778]

@zEricFaux Tho that didn't quite answer my question. It still gives me a general idea of their money value :D

10,000 won is basically the 10 dollars here (in australia since im australian). It can't buy decent stuff, but it can still get you by in a day if you ate cheap.

So thanks for your response. Waited a week for that :D

[marie8909able]

@Gnomeslayer778 i never been to austrailia but when i was in u.s. 10,000won has almost same value of 10$. the price of stuff isn't that cheap in korea..but the service price is really cheap. so you can have a lunch by 7,000 to 13,000won..and take a bus by 1000 to 3000won..but industrail product price isn't cheap.

[beaboyy]

and you can actually use Tmoney card as real money u can buy stuffs with it pretty cool

[cpydiana]

the card is similar with Touch n Go in Malaysia...

[renthkim]

@cpydiana Yeah, absolutely because Korean subway company has exported this system to Malaysia. ^_^

[cpydiana]

@renthkim ahh.... no wonder!! thx for telling... but Malaysia's system sucks sometimes... *I'm a Malaysian*

[tooyagal]

its similar to london oyster card which is used while travelling to underground n buses in london :D

[won1853]

actually paper tickets are no longer in use in seoul metro. everybody uses cards these days

[inuerica]

that's pretty cool :O

[DaniiDanx3]

That's just like London and our Oyster Cards ><

[nerdotron]

@DaniiDanx3 yeah, but you can use this one in metro, buses, taxi, ferries, vending machines, phone booths, shops and attractions.

[SparkzMxzXZ]

In Singapore the machines recognize how much you put in. :O Hahahahaha.

[AbiRightNow]

They have that here in London as well.

[bonbon791992]

I remember in Daegu, I used my bank card as a subway card also. But also we can buy separate card for subway but ofcourse that's a hassle for me. So I just also used my bank card. I also have one of those T Card which I use when I visited Seoul.

[SuperBlazingstar]

i heard from my korean friends that they have the T card in the form of handphone keychains. and yes martina, they have a hello kitty T card in the form of a handphone key chain! =) how cool is that!

[deljedd]

so wat happens if u lose the card while your on the train? how r u going 2 get out?

[varquez7]

Nah. Swiping is better. Swiped no swiping! But I like swiping!

[jerkrapper21]

that is so cool! so much better than the shitty nyc subway system.

[dbsklubya]

I have such a card for uni which I can use for transportation as well. Love this system (:

[dyania23]

this is simillar to singapore. exact same.

[MsMusicPrincess]

@dyania23 ya... but the machine there hav 2 use atm card... not cash

[SparkzMxzXZ]

@dyania23 We should do a video on YT, on SG's mrt! ^^ LOL.

[dyania23]

@SparkzMxzXZ YEAHH!! haha.

[SparkzMxzXZ]

now there's distance fares too, so the video will be more interesting. Hahahahahaha.

[kaayaaya]

yay this is the same way we do it here in SF....then i won't get as confused right??

[HyuugaYouka]

I have one of those, except they're for China, and they work on normal buses too. Is it the same in Korea?

[manucouldntbeme]

omg i love your videos! kamsamhamnida

[klaneskatzl]

omg guys.. don't act like this is rocket science. just observe how other people do it and read the instructions on the t-card machine display ^^

[Vaughnlesterinoz]

that ticket system looks like a mix of the systems they have in Perth and Sydney Australia. In Perth they have those swipe cards, but the regular tickets work like that here in Sydney.

[xXxIgoBOOMxXx]

Wow, that's a little much (10 dollars) for one trip in the subway. I kinda prefer the monthly metro passes in toronto, cheaper if you the subway every day... :P

[jocelinNUSAPUTRI1]

@xXxIgoBOOMxXx the trip actually costed 1300 (like a buck) but simon just wanted to put in more money so that he doesnt have to keep adding it every time he goes somewhere. it works like a debit card kinda.

[pepperfish23]

We have those in Australia, they're called Go Cards, all you have to do is touch and go.

[MrPabletto]

in Chile we have the same system

[ljonghyun]

I like it when a foreigner describe about my country,,,

[simon1993ist]

The paper tickets are out the one way cards are in

[dalkimi]

I went to Korea last summer and they didn't have the ticket thing at all... I remember when I was a small kid that they had the tickets, but now even the ticket booth has disappeared and been replaced with a help center.

[koreajong]

the one wat ticket is now replaced with a one way CARD. but u need a extra 500won that you'll get back later

[lifesoeasy]

I went Seoul 2 weeks ago.

I still have my T-mobile Card, probably 5000won left.

[kyoungeunn]

I TOTALLY should have watched before befor ei went to Korea

i was like WHERE ARE THOSE YELLOWSUBWAY TICKETS!(this was like four years ago era LOL)

but i use ppl using some CARD

i was amusedd

now i ahve my own~ and brought it back with me ahah i think i still have like 2 bucks in there LOL!

[kupokuporay]

It seems like Melbourne's weird as Myki system

[GuyGroovey]

Wow, no paper tickets. Nice, save the environment, paper tickets are stupid.

[alphaliyong]

good

[dhchoi]

oh~~~i c , thnx for ur informing. ... btw....im a corean but i ve nevr done this in my life ever. now i know how to use it....i mean...the card......mmm....what u call that????

[AmandaKayBrown]

this is just like the Atlanta Marta system

[tokee1234567]

@AmandaKayBrown yes in Korea, you can also use cellphone keychains and debit cards instead of those individual cards to pay for metro. they've had that system for like 9 years now... I wish US would have similar systems like that (but probably not possible until a decade late) but in Seattle the individual card system was implemented only last February.

[h33I0]

This is like the tube imo

[terryturk]

if you have any credit card valid, you can just use it as the guy uses his card. Even no need to charge

[PyrimidKingJindai]

They plan to have that system in sydney, but the goverment is fucked in the head

[rapha24mt]

man, we've got an exact same system here in singapore.

[nothing2do962]

@rapha24mt i know right? we even have the turnstiles. or whatever they call it :p and also the card comes out on top too.

[KEYandSHINeeaddict]

Woooooow. Everyone in Korean is a millionaire! Well...in won. xD

The way your refill your card and get in/out of the subway in the korea subway station is TOTALLY similar! o_o

[SneakerRock]

shoot, i am a korean, and i don't even know how to reload it.. thanks dude.

[cesarbattistinim]

We have this in brazil as well

[Bulmer39]

Get on the subway for free, did I just hear him say that?

[artificialmetal]

uk people chill. the oyster isn't that great. it's expensive. and if you lose that we have to pay 2 frigging pounds..even if you are under 16! and our vendng machines are expensive.

[blahk04]

woah, sasha? new character? I fear change!!

[girlygirlsism]

in holland we have the same system as in korea!

[ajetha786]

this is fuckin gay, the oyster card in the uk is the same shit.

[tokee1234567]

@ajetha786 korea started the card system like over 6 yrs ago. did oyster card start 6 yrs ago? in korea you can put your card as a chip in your cellphone or your cellphone decorations. you can use your bank debit or credit card as your metro card so that the money goes out of your checking or saving account. Oyster card technology was bought in korea, and it was only implemented in some US states like Washington like only 3 months ago

[wasilaify]

@ajetha786 So? This is a video introducing different aspects about Korea. What's your fucking problem? Closeted inferiority complex?

[sknman92]

@ajetha786 this fucking gay, ping poing ping what is so fucking gay about it?

[chaloner]

They just started having this in US. WTF Korea and Japan always ahead in Technology

[ajetha786]

@chaloner no europe had this much earlier

[heeby93]

it's just like an oyster card...

[tokee1234567]

@heeby93 except that in korea you can put your card as a chip in your cellphone or your cellphone decorations. and you can use your bank debit or credit card as your metro card so that the money goes out of your checking or saving account.

[ajetha786]

@tokee1234567 retards oystercards been around for 7 years now! please research before you assume. i find the cellphone abit pointless. and as for payment there is visa air and u can use direct debit to top up. i am speaking of europe not freakin usa.

[ajetha786]

@tokee1234567 and as for paying things using t-money, u can use visa wave but wats the point, if u already have a debit card, big deal carring two cards, doesnt kill anyone now does it. jap and korea "some" pointless gadgets. there is no real ergonomic benefit. just for the sake of it. i dont see how much more convenience can a plastic card be.

[tokee1234567]

@ajetha786 I mean you can just use your debit card as the t money. not the other way around. how is it pointless? You have your debit card in your wallet. you swipe your bad across the machine and you get into the subway. everything's solved. it's an easy way to get into the subway without taking out the card or anything

[ajetha786]

@tokee1234567 oh whoopy doo! NOT! still pointless, it wouldnt kill to have two different cards, i dont see the point and i doubt the gov will see the point too. besides ppl lose their cards, imagine loosing that card, alot of loss right there. See with japan and korea fellows lol is that it invents things just for the sake of keepin daily consumers entertained. and in the EU if it doesn't change your life or enhance it in a "significant" way, then why bother wastin tax money.

[tokee1234567]

@ajetha786 not everyone carries a wallet. students just carry cellphones half the time and it's an efficient way to get around. even if you lose your debit card or your t money card you can use your cellphone to get around.. isn't that a good idea? you've never used the "pointless" system, they've been using those things for more than 5 yrs and they're happy with it. you shouldn't comment on those things when you don't even have that technology in your homeland

[tokee1234567]

@ajetha786 i'll stop here b/c you obviously think asian technology is useless and you're stuck in a place where public transportation isn't all that great. I don't wanna spam simonandmartina's page. you use your oyster card. we will use our cellphones and debit cards, ok?

[whrkdud]

@tokee1234567 u can use cellphone and debit in korea subway,too. there are many way. and when u transfer from subway to bus, u can get discownt if u use same card.

[tokee1234567]

@whrkdud I am talking about korea. no western country can use cell phones or debit cards like Korea to use public transportation

[JosKiddin]

@ajetha786 It is really convenient, when I went to korea and you needed to get to catch all of the buses it was way easier using a T-card instead of coins and won, the bus driver DOES NOT WAIT for you to sit down, and you want to find a seat so it's faster and easier to scan and run and find a seat. But hey it's your opinion!

[ajetha786]

@heeby93 exactly

[bebietdibibi1]

i like this system, very easy to charge money.

[everclaim]

so many foreign friends(i'm korean) are confused with korean traffic system. and i agree there's pretty much of complexity but once you're used to, you can use vehicles or trains more economically.

[nazirdjon]

now they don't have those one way paper tickets. its replaced by rfid chipped plastic card, something like t-money. the best thing about seoul transportation is you can transfer using these cards with bus-subway, or bus - bus (different lines) within 30 mins without having to pay again

[koreanangel149]

that's kinda like our BART system in Cali's bay area :]

[sagaciousid]

You should have also mentioned that you can use the same card you charged up in the video not just on the subway, but the city bus, and the taxi-cabs in Seoul.

[sagaciousid]

Also, you can use that same card at some stores to pay with. There are variations of T-Money cards. In the video was shown a charge up type. There's also one you can pay in arrears. But you get those only on IC-chip credit cards, which isn't easy to get because you need to have credit to get a credit card. But if you can get the credit card version, you can also get a cellphone version, which is a chip inserted in the phone. Insert the chip and the cellphone becomes a T-card, and a credit card.

[0hayoung0]

yea i think so

[hubbabubbaskateboard]

lol das how we do it here in sg too with ez link cards and wow im surprised our card system here is 'more developed' in a way then koreas o_o since we dont use tickets here at all anymore even for tourists rofl.

[supmanlol1]

u actually dnt need a card

u can ezily go throu with some tiny doll like stuff (idk wut it is exactly) that may be hung on the cellphone

[ROHSKUX]

Subway is free for elder pple age of 65+ you show ur ID card and the guy in the ticket booth will give u the ticket

[pofid]

that's like the oyster card in London, nothing new really.... :D

[drpep777]

do you know that Korea sold the technology for oyster card in london, haha nothing really :D

[pofid]

wow, didn't know that. Well, there is always something new to be learned :)

[00taem00]

japanese baka man^^

[0hayoung0]

there is no japs lol

[kingofscrim]

LOL

my friends like 10000!!! OMG rich cunt, then i told him thats only like 10 dollars

hes so confused and hes in year 10, hahaha

[MEOWlee13]

Haha, yeah, Everyone in Korea is a milionare....in won! ^_^ Tehehe!

[msredwun]

its almost just like the metro system in washington dc

[jasminehks]

That's advanced XD
