Can I buy a transit pass at Incheon Airport?

T-money cards and some pass options are commonly available at convenience stores and kiosks in the arrivals area of both ICN terminals, though availability can vary.

Do transit passes work in Busan too?

T-money works nationwide, including Busan subways and buses. City-specific passes like the Climate Card are Seoul-only.
