Buses are aplenty in Seoul. This can be intimidating if you can't speak their language. Not all drivers can speak English. Better tell the driver of where you're getting off. We took a bus going to Everland. Destinations will be announced in English. Bus stops directly in Everland & Sadang Subway Station wherein you can take the bus to the park.

Taking the Airport Limousine Bus to Incheon International Airport is the most convenient way to go there. It is more expensive than the subway. The long flight of stairs in the subway will prove to be difficult for those carrying heavy luggage. Subway also requires a transfer at Gimpo Int'l Airport before proceeding to Incheon. Fare is W10T. You can take subway if you travel light to save on the fare.

Besides the Seoul Express Bus Terminal located at the south of the Hangang river, the Dong Seoul Bus Terminal is another very big bus terminal in Seoul where you can find buses travelling to other parts of South Korea (especially the central regions of the country).
The Dong Seoul Bus Terminal is located in the north-eastern part of the city near to the Hangang River. It is very crowded with lots of shops, eateries etc. In Nov 2008, I took a bus from here to Danyang town (see my VT Tanyang page) to visit Sobaeksan National Park (see my VT Sobaek-sanmaek page). There are also frequent buses from here to the Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport.

A cheaper mode of transport from Incheon to town is to take the airport bus that runs at an interval of 10-15minutes. The expensive KAL bus runs directly to the major hotels. Cost krw14,000 per person . When buying the tickets you can check if they stop at your hotel or ask for the nearest stop.
Another alternative bus which runs through the city cost krw9000 and may take about 1 and a half hours to Myeong Dong. There is a bus top just in front of the Ibis and tickets to the airport can be purchase from the conceirge.

From the Incheon International Airport it's easy and convenient to catch a bus to downtown Seoul. It seems that this may be a better option than going by taxi. The buses are somewhat inexpensive and also extremely comfortable with wide spaceous seating and easy to fall asleep in.
They also have curtains that can be pulled over the windows so as to minimize the incoming sunlight (making a nap all the more easier). No smoking is permitted on the buses (Good!).

The Buses are a great way to get to and around Seoul. The airport line which runs from the Incheon airport is cheap, and a very comfortable ride with incredible scenery on the way into Seoul. They usually run every 15 mins to and from the city, and around the city. Once you are in Seoul, you can catch other lines to see other parts of the city. The airport line takes you past some beautiful palaces in Seoul, well worth taking a look at.

There are plenty of buses going into town, ranging from 7000 to 10000 won. Just tell the people at the information desk where you're looking to go to, and they'll give you the number of the bus you need to get on. Easy.

When you reached to Incheon airport, the easiest way to get to the city centre is to get on the Limousine bus services, which is going directly to "City air terminal" to the city centre. The travel cost 13,000 wong and the ticket can be purchased just next to bus stop..
We just get out from the first gate and saw the bus in front of us... and next to it the ticket desk..
The buses are called limousine bus, due to their comfort.. There are only 3 seats in one row and seats are very comfortable..The bus can take up to 28 person..
While we were there the work for train line was on progress and suppose in a couple of months, train connection to the airport could be possible..
The road from Incheon to the city centre takes around from one hour to 1,5 hours, depending to the traffic.. The airport is 52kmfrom the city centre and the road was connected with many nice bridges..

After over an hours drive from the airport, we have reached to the City Air terminal. City air terminal is located behind the Hyundai department store and coex shopping center, just in the middle of "Yeongdong- Jasmil" area, which is the new city center of Seoul.. In this area many big buildings, big companies and major hotels are located.
When you reached to the City air terminal, just in front you can see the information desk. Many hotels do have a pcik up service from the terminal, so just contact with the information desk. They phone to your hotel and arrange the pick up service for you. In our case, our hotel has offered a free taxi and we get a coupon from the information desk and pass it to the taxi driver.. Just in 10 minutes we were at the hotel free of charge..
