Starting in May, the card readers on Seoul buses will provide audio guidance …instead of the beep sound when tagging the card to pay for the bus journey.<br />They will also offer illustrations and guidance in English for foreigners.<br />According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the change will first be applied to regular buses in Seoul from May 1st then extended to village buses.<br />When the reader fails to tag a card, the reader will show an illustration and a red X sign telling the passenger to try again.<br />The local government says the changes were made to prevent passengers from paying twice because they were unaware of unsuccessful transactions. <br />
