Additional fees incurred if you do not swipe your card when getting off the bus
In the case of Seoul

For buses that charge fares regardless of distance, for example,
metropolitan buses, you will not be charged even if you do not swipe your
transportation card when getting off. However, even in this case, additional
fees will not be charged but you will not be able to receive transfer
benefits. Not receiving transfer benefits means that if you do not swipe
your card when getting off and board the next bus, it will be recognized as having taken two
different buses, so there will be no fare discount.
However, if you use a distance-proportioned bus, you will be charged an
additional fee if you do not swipe your card when getting off.
If you don't swipe your card when getting off, they won't know where you got
off, so you will be charged an additional maximum fare based on the distance
from the boarding point to the last stop.
An additional 100 won is added for every 5 km from the basic 10 km, and is
charged the next time you use public transportation.
In the case of Gyeonggi-do
Gyeonggi-do and Seoul are adjacent., so it is often possible to move by using public transportation.
Gyeonggi-do has a no-tag penalty system for getting off when using city
buses. If you get off without swiping your card when getting off, a penalty
of 700 won will be incurred. (The specific additional fee may vary depending
on the distance traveled, changes in related systems, etc.)
