From early next year, passengers can use their credit cards to pay taxi fares in Seoul, city officials announced yesterday. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said it will introduce the system next year for a three-month trial in 3,500 to 5000 taxis. The city will then review the system and expand it to cabs throughout Seoul. And the city also said it will introduce special traffic cards for foreign visitors next month. The special traffic card for visiting foreigners will debut on Nov. 1, allowing unlimited transfers on subways, local buses and city tour buses in Seoul.

Using credit cards to pay taxi. Wow! It is very good. For clean economy, using credit cards is great way. I take taxi when I am busy. But if there is no money that time, I will be in trouble. So credit card is useful payment. I hope Busan conducts this policy fast.
