What's the official difference between the Climate Card and a regular T-money card for short-term foreign visitors?

Question

For a short Seoul trip, how does the Climate Card differ from an ordinary rechargeable T-money card?

Koursea Editorial · Accepted Answer

The Climate Card is a fixed-period pass for eligible Seoul subway and bus services. Short-term passes range from a one-day 5,000 won option to a seven-day 20,000 won option. It excludes services such as the Shinbundang Line and certain metropolitan Korail sections. A regular T-money card is a prepaid transport card used more broadly across Korea and its remaining balance can be refunded under T-money rules. Subject to on-site change: confirm the current coverage map and pass prices before purchase.
