Jeonju Transit Cards: Buying and Topping Up Prepaid Cards

Compare standard cards and Tmoney travel cards before riding buses.

Why it matters now

Helps visitors prepare payment before using local buses.

Jeonju City's visitor portal discusses standard prepaid transport cards and Tmoney travel cards. It lists standard cards at convenience stores, with an approximate KRW 3,000–5,000 card purchase cost depending on design. The card cost is separate from the money you load onto it.

The city's advice is to carry Korean-won cash for topping up. It lists Incheon Airport bus ticket desks and convenience stores as possible Tmoney travel-card purchase points. Acceptance and payment options depend on the particular card, so check the issuer's latest rules and keep sufficient balance before boarding.

What we still don't know

Stock at specific outlets, refunds, top-up channels and current issue prices were not independently checked.
