hello. These days, there are many people who ride bicycles for short distances to reduce environmental pollution, reduce transportation costs, and improve personal health. Local governments are also increasingly renting public bicycles. Then, below, I will write about how to use Ttareungi rental, fee, and return method.
What is Ttareung?
Ttareungi refers to public bicycles that are available to anyone in Seoul. With Ttareungyi, you can help citizens’ health, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and realize low-carbon, green growth.
In addition, bicycles are placed throughout the rental offices so that you can move conveniently for short distances, which can help make Seoul a cleaner and world-class bicycle city.
How to use Ttareungi
Ttareungi can be used by both members and non-members. After purchasing a ticket on the app or PC, renting a bicycle at the rental office, and returning it to the rental office after riding.
You can download the Ttareungi app by searching the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). To purchase a ticket on a PC, search for Ttareungi on the portal site and access the Seoul Bike Ttareungi website (https://bikeseoul.com) to purchase.
Ttareungi type
There are three main types of Ttareungi bikes. There are three types: LCD type Ttareungyi, QR type New Ttareungyi, and Sprout Ttareungi. 따릉이 사용법
The LCD-type Ttareungi can be seen as an older type of Ttareungi, and it is a bicycle that has an LCD terminal attached to it and is used by paying the usage fee. 좋은뉴스
The new QR-type Ttareungi is an upgraded Ttareungi, a bicycle with a QR-type terminal dotted with IoT technology. Compared to the existing LCD-type terminals, maintenance costs are low, malfunctions are small, and unauthorized use can be blocked.
Since the Sprout Ttareungi is a compact model and small and light, it is a good bike for teenagers and small adults. It is only small in size, but you can think of it as a QR type Ttareungi.
As such, the rental method for Ttareungi bikes may vary depending on the type.
However, if you search for rental shops, you can’t find a single LCD-type Ttareungi, and in most cases you can only rent QR-type Ttareungi or Sprout Ttareungi. It is said that the LCD type will disappear in the future, and all will be replaced by the QR type Ttareungi by the year 22.
Therefore, in this article, I will write only about the QR type Ttareungi and the sprout Ttareungi, excluding the LCD type Ttareungi.
How to rent a QR-type Ttareungi
Download the Ttareungyi app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
After that, you can sign up as a member or purchase a pass as a non-member. Non-members are only eligible for a one-day pass.
After purchasing the ticket, click the Rent button on the home screen of the app.
After that, scan the QR code on the device attached to the top of the rear wheel of the bicycle.
After scanning the QR code, wait for up to 1 minute, the lock will open, and you can remove the bike from the cradle and ride it.
If the app does not rent, you need to enable Bluetooth and GPS (location information) of your smartphone. Also, if you use wireless earphones, you may not be able to rent them. In this case, you can use the wireless earphones after turning off Bluetooth.
Also, check the tightness of tires, brakes, chains and saddles before riding the bicycle. It is recommended to wear a hard hat, and while riding a bicycle, driving under the influence of alcohol, using a cell phone, or using earphones is prohibited.
And, you move through the bicycle path, and if there is no bicycle path, you can move by attaching to the right edge of the road. However, it is always necessary to pay attention to safe driving when using the roadway. At crosswalks, get off the bike and drag it.
Sprout Ttareungi has the same rental and return method as QR Ttareungi.
Ttareungi Fee
When purchasing a Ttareungi ticket, payment methods such as mobile phone, credit card (check card accepted), PAYCO, Kakao Pay, and Zero Pay can be used.
You can pay in the app or on your PC, and non-members can only purchase a one-day pass. If the basic usage time is exceeded, an additional fee will be charged and the payment will be automatically made to the registered payment method.

How to return the Ttareungi
QR bikes and sprout bikes can be returned to all rental stations in yellow and green. However, LCD bicycles can only be returned to the green rental station.
In the case of QR bikes and sprout bikes, after arriving at the rental station to be returned, place the bike on the rental station cradle and lower the lock lever on the rear wheel all the way down to complete the return process.
When it is returned normally, a notification message (text) will be sent to the mobile phone along with the message that it has been returned normally from the terminal.
In any case, if it is difficult to return it, please contact the operation center (1599-0120).
