Seoul says the 30-day Climate Card ends on September 1, 2026, with Ddareungi and other Seoul benefits planned under Climate Card Plus
If you use Climate Card for Ddareungi access, watch the July and August cutoffs before the September 1 switch.
Seoul says the 30-day Climate Card ends on September 1, 2026, with Ddareungi and other Seoul benefits planned under Climate Card Plus.
Seoul's notice gives the practical cutoffs:
prepaid 30-day Climate Card charging: until July 31, 2026. prepaid final-use date: August 29, 2026. postpaid final-use date: August 31, 2026. existing prepaid and postpaid Climate Card operation ends: September 1, 2026.
Seoul says Climate Card Plus will add Seoul-specific benefits to the Everyone's Card / K-Pass base, including Ddareungi-linked benefits.
Do not wait until the last week of August if the card is part of your routine.
Seoul says users should switch to K-Pass / Everyone's Card or Climate Card Plus before the 30-day Climate Card ends. It also says the Climate Card Plus launch schedule is not fixed yet and will be announced again.
That is not elegant. It is, however, a clear reason to check your setup early.
Useful if you actually use the card.
If you only rent Ddareungi occasionally, this is background noise. If your commute or routine uses the Climate Card with Ddareungi, check the dates before August turns into a small payment headache.
