Upass (Korean: 유패스) was a prepaid card for the transportation system in Seoul and its suburbs. The card was issued by Seoul Bus Transport Association and eB Card. Its parent-generation card is Seoul Transportation Card, a world-first commercial-used RF card for transportation (first used in June 1996)¹. The Korean system integrator Intec and Seoul Bus Union first launched a test of their system in a trial from October to December 1995. Currently, Upass has been discontinued, replaced by the newer T-money card. Existing cards still can be used in T-money areas.
