Busan Metro adult fare rules
The operator's published adult standard fares are ₩1,600 by transit/mobile card or ₩1,700 by QR single ticket for Zone 1 (up to and including 10 km). Zone 2 (above 10 km) costs ₩1,800 or ₩1,900 respectively. There is no additional charge for each 5 km in this standard two-zone fare table.
The passenger terms define the fare zone using the shortest rail-route distance. Enter that distance after checking the operator's route information. This tool does not locate stations, find a route, measure straight-line distance or confirm that an entered distance is a real itinerary.
This comparison covers one adult standard journey on Busan Metro Lines 1–4. Buses, the Donghae Line, Busan–Gimhae Light Rail, inter-operator transfers, concession eligibility, passes and excess-time charges are outside this fare calculation. The displayed standard fare is not a verified final charge for those cases.
