Booking apps in South Korea

Agreeing the fare in an app before you travel removes the argument at the end of the journey, which is where most transport scams happen. Links go to each app's official page — lookalike apps are themselves a scam.

Kakao T

The standard Korean app for hailing licensed taxis, plus bikes and parking.

Naver Map

Journey planning that works far better in Korea than international map apps.

T-money

Stored-value card for buses, metro and taxis nationwide.

Korail Talk

Official booking for KTX high-speed and regional rail.
