As mentioned in another tip: use the subway whenever possible (especially to that black hole of traffic Kangnam!). The trains are regular, run from about 6AM to midnight and are clean, fast and easy to navigate. If you must go by car/taxi do so in the middle of the day or late at night (after 10PM) to avoid traffic. As well, you might expect 2-3 HOURS to get from one part of the city to another. Yes, the same distance that might take 30-60 minutes on the subway can take 2 hours (easily) in the surface. This really sucks if you're in a cab and have only so much in won on you (although I believe many take credit cards). Another idea, if the subway is not convenient and you're short on dough, is to take a bus. Call 1330 for multi-language directions. be prepared, though, buses in Korea can become PACKED with people, often accelerate and turn and brake abruptly. As well, you need to keep a good eye out for your stop (there are English announcements for the major stops). Another thing, I heard (but have not seen) that buses will sometimes not pick up people at a stop because they are running late--they need to stick to the schedule and cannot afford the time.

| | | | Cars, Subways and Buses: How to get to Seoul from Incheon Airport | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
As been asked many times on this forum, what is the best way to get to Seoul from IIA? Buses from Incheon International Airport to Seoul operate on 10-15 minute intervals during the flight operation hours. As the subway between IIA and Seoul is currently under construction, the most convenient and cheapest way to get to Seoul is Limousine Bus. Deluxe Limousine Bus tickets to Seoul cost 12,000-13,000 won, Standard Limousine Bus tickets cost 7,500-8,000 won. Tickets can be purchased at the Transportation Information Counter near the exits No. 2, 4, 9, 13 on the arrival floor (1st floor) or at the bus stops themselves. Which bus you take depends on the part of the city you are going to. Don't worry, the places are written on the buses in English as well as Korean. Here is a list of the buses, where they go, and which exit in the airport to head for to catch them: http://www.airport.or.kr/airport/traffic/bus/busList.iia?flag=E&fake=1142381787184 Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The public transportation in Seoul is very well organized. It is probably the best public transportation that any city has, with its buses and its metro. First things first, purchase an english version of the metro map. If you hate walking, you can also use the buses as well, but downtown seoul has metro stations every 20minute-walk or so. You need to either buy a scan-card (and you charge it with money, and scan it whenever you use the bus/metro), or you can buy a ticket every time you use the system. (the map on the left is 3 years old - the metro has expanded even more since then.) TIP: SCAN YOUR SCANNING CARD WHEN YOU ARE GETTING ON AND OFF THE BUS. This way, if you are simply switching lines, then you can get onto the next bus for free. Also, if you are switching from a bus straight to a metro, it is gratuit as well. If you are buying something small, then try to get it done by 30 mins, as the return trip will then be free as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroPhone: 1330 for free all-language info
