The Seoul subway is still the deal of the century, but I've noticed two things:

1) Basic fare has gone up 100 won.

2) They've also narrowed the zones. A two zone trip is now likely a three zone trip.

Short trips seem to have gone down though. Many short trips now cost me 400, where before would always cost 800 using card.

Indeed. Although I'm looking at a 22% rise in my fare with the new zone squeezed in. But yeah, at the end of the day still pocket fluff.
