Does anyone know where you can buy a 지하철 정기권 (subway season pass) card?

And after purchase can it be recharged at any T-Money kiosk in the subway stations?

Why don't you just get a T-money card at any of the convenience store kiosks and recharge it whenever you want?
You could also get other objects too, like the bones. That way with a T-Money card you could always pay for a taxi too, in a pinch.

you know, i was wondering the same thing, now they have closed all the subway ticket offices...is it like london where you can order them online and have it kinda sent to your tmoney when you put it to a sensor at a certain station?

or did they just scrap them and make you pay for every journey?

They replaced the ticket office workers with machines.

You can buy a T-Money card next to where you buy single trip tickets. It will give you one in a box with a small tourist coupon book (mostly to saunas, maybe 10 coupons). Then you just charge it as you see fit.

I believe the card was 3,000W the last time I checked.

As to season passes, no idea sorry. That would be a great idea if there was such a card. Of course, it would depend on the price.

well the subway maps on the internet, the interactive ones, still show the price of a subway pass, ie like hyehwa to nowon is say 39000 a month or whatever but where to get them now the office is closed at my station is another matter...

using this to go to school everyday would be ace!
