釜山列车 Train OF Busan

Do you still remember this 1 big hit zombie thriller - Train To Busan back in 2016? And today I'm going to share with you my good experience in Train OF Busan.

你还记得2016时一步非常有名的韩国丧尸片《尸速列车》。我终于有机会来韩国见识釜山的极速列车了。

I wanna thank Tourism Korea in Malaysia which given me this convenient to have a piece of their T-money card. You can obtain a piece of this card by furnishing a copy of your valid passport for FREE! Should you wanted to buy one, it costs 2000krw. All I gotta do is bring this to Korea, find one of their convenient shop, load value and I can use it. It's more like the Malaysian local "touch n go" card. I can use the preloaded value to purchase merchandize and or paying public transport. Super convenient.

在此特别鸣谢韩国观光旅游局，用我一份复印护照就换到了这张 t 卡。你要在当地买也是可以，不过现行通知，一张两千韩元。说多不多，但是带着过去总是比较安心。只需在韩国找一件便利店就能充值，好像八达通/联通卡等，还可以用来购物买商品。非常方便。

Alternatively, I can purchase day pass on their ticket vending machine. A piece of day pass costs 5000krw, unlimited use within the same day of purchase. Alternatively, I can buy single entry ticket. Per trip is 1400krw. Using T-card would means rebate of 100krw as discount. If you're not planning to visit more than 1 destination, using the T-card will be more economical viable. As round trip would cost 2600krw only. But hey, who doesn't visit more than 1 destination when traveling abroad? I make it a convenient choice to purchase day pass for train rides, and save up preloaded T-money in the T-card for bus ride.

除了T卡，我还可以选择买日票。一张日票是五千韩元，全天使用不管列车的车程多远，乘多少次。你也可以选择买散票，基本上是1400一趟，但是如果用 T卡则有100回扣。如果你不打算乘搭地铁去超过一个目的地，那还是别买日票了。来回才2600，何必浪费钱买日票？
不过话说回来，谁到外地旅游不到处游玩呀？所以，我还是决定买日票，然后将T卡的钱省起来搭巴士。

Kudos to Busan Tourism giving a 5000krw worth of ticket! Again, I managed to save up 3 trips. You can obtain this freebie at Busan Station' tourist information center.

釜山旅游局也派出价值五千的地铁票！太好了，用了三次。你可以在釜山总车站的旅游局找到！

Overall, I have very good experience with HUMETRO, it feels exactly the same like any Metro train anywhere else I've visited. The only difference is, they have enough recycle cans everywhere around the corner. Toilet are clean and well maintained. Platform are clean as well. They have enough elevator, for those who needed it. Most of Korean people will leave the priority seats blank, no matter how tired I was, I dare not to sit on it. I hope to see my country does the same.

整体来说，我对韩国HUMETRO 的感觉良好。跟世界各地的Metro 没有多大分别，车厢的布置，地铁站的建筑也相当接近。最值得夸奖的是，不管在哪一个角落都有放着环保箱子。厕所也很干净没有异味。还有一点，韩国人在地铁里每个车厢都留着最少六个特定座位给老人/孕妇/小孩/伤残人士的，而韩国人重来不占领位置。就算没有老人在附近他们也不坐。礼貌让位的也是经常见到，我自己的国家应该多向其他国家学习。
