Types of City Buses |
| |
|
 |
There are three kinds of urban buses running in Seoul City: City, City Express and Deluxe Express Buses. The City Express Buses are referred to as 'Jwaseok (seat)' in Korean and are more comfortable than general city buses. City Buses are referred to as 'Ilban' bus in Korean. They are numbered according to their specific routing.
Since destinations are written in Korean, English and Chinese, you can take the right bus without difficulties. You may get assistance from your hotel front desk to find out where the bus stops are and which number you should take. You may also contact the Bus Route Information Center at (+82-2) 414-5005 for routes and time schedule.
In addition, there is one more type of bus called 'Maeul Bus' in Korean that is a kind of a community shuttle bus.
It is usually run on a short-distance service course in the residential area that doesn't have a convenient transportation like a subway or a bus.
These buses are smaller and cheaper than the normal buses. The transportation card is also available for this type of bus.

Transportation Card |
| |
|
 |
By the transportation card as well as cash, you can pay bus fares. The Transportation Card is a pay-per-ride card with 2 % added value and can also be used to pay subway fares. 10,000, and 20,000won bus cards are sold and recharged at kiosks or news stands near the bus stop. A 1,500 won deposit is required when purchasing a Transportation Card, which can be returned to get the deposit back. |
When the passenger gets on the bus, he or she needs to place the transportation card on the card reader installed beside the driver to pay the bus fare by the card. Then the card reader displays how much money left in the card for prepaid card of how much you spent for post-paid card. If one wants to pay the fares for more than one person, he needs to tell the driver how many people he pays the fare for and place the card on the card reader as many times as the number of the people. |
