Subway system in Seoul

by paulvir

The subway system in Seoul can be intimating to non-subway commuters like me. But anyone who's used any subway system should find it pretty easy to use. All signs and ticket vending machines are in Korean and English. Announcements are made in Korean and English also. Note that there are no ticket booth where you buy a ticket from a clerk. All tickets are sold from ticket vending machines. Most people use what's card T-card but you can buy one-time use ticket from the vending machines. You can follow direction in English to buy your tickets from the vending machine. If you are planning on using the subway system in Seoul, spend some time on this interactive guide: http://www.smrt.co.kr/Train/Subwaymap/Eng/Subwaymap.jspIt's a really useful guide to the subway system. Follow the steps below to get oriented. -Pick your language at top. -Than click on the different subway 'lines' which are 1...

Seoul City Tour

by paulvir

I highly recommend Seoul City Tour Bus for getting around Seoul to see the popular tourist sites. If you have 1 or 2 full days to spend in Seoul, you should definitely take advantage of Seoul City Tour Bus. Getting around Seoul using the subway can be a bit of challenge for the uninitiated foreigners, so the City Tour Bus is the best choice for getting to tourist destinations in Seoul.Closed on MondaysCost and how to get ticket: 6,000 KWN to 12,000 KWN for a one-day pass depending on the course. Teens and younger get discounts. I took the bus with the City Circulation Course all-day pass which cost 10,000 KWN. If you are paying with a Credit Card, you MUST purchase the ticket at the Seoul City Tour Bus Ticketbox, which is at Gwanghwamun Station only. If you are paying with cash or T-Money card (South Korean mass transit card), you can purchase it on the bus when you first board. I...

Korail

by FridgeMagnet

I took the high speed KTX train from Seoul to Busan. Efficient and comfortable with reasonable prices. It travels at speeds of up to 300 kph. You can book on their website up to two months in advance. Don't worry if your credit card is not charged straight away. They don't charge until you actually collect the tickets. Just bring your web receipt to a rail station once you are in Korea to collect them.

Travel, the Korail way!

by Mr.Sparkle

You can book your train tix in advanced online and in English. Helpful if you going to be traveling during a holiday. what's more, you see schedules and prices. Very helpful even if your not going to make a booking.one word of warning, the site does not function correctly with Mozilla. I had to use IE to make my booking. I actually had to d/l a something from the website to get it to work. All in all, it made my transport around the country hassle free.As for price and travel time, you can't beat the KTX. I highly recommend using it.

KTX (Korea Train -eXpress)

by Arial_27

KTX is South Korea's high-speed railway system, which many find it a convenient and affordable way of traveling around Korea. Its slightly cheaper to take buses, but for longer distances (such as Busan to Seoul or vice versa) it may be worth it to save time by taking the train. You can reserve tickets online, or by going in person to any given train station. The cost of a 1 way ticket from Seoul to Busan is about $50 USD, and a return ticket is around $100. The trains go to many other cities, such as Daegu and Incheon.To find out where the train stations are near you, you can check the link below - it's the official site for KTX and can be viewed in Korean or English. Click on "booking" and then "book online" in order to check routes, timetables and prices.

Driving in South Korea yes/no

by DSwede

I've owned a car in Korea for over three years now. While I feel perfectly comfortable on the roads here, I will offer a few words of advice.First ask yourself if you have ever driven in a foreign country. Korea has similar rules to the West, but there are a few idiosyncrasies to them. However, having rules and following them are two different issues. Korean roads are not as safe as western countries and may take some time to getting used to the natural ebb and flow of the traffic and their disregard for certain laws (red lights, pedestrians, turning from middle lanes, etc. come to mind first).I have driven in all corners of Korea and try to avoid driving in Seoul. It is a zoo of streets and if you are not familiar with them, it is nearly impossible to drive safely and navigate at the same time. Street signs are extremely difficult for foreigners to use since the naming schemes and...

Buses in Pusan

by IreneMcKay

Buses were easy to use. Pay the driver on entry. We paid a flat rate of 1000won per person per trip. No idea if this is correct. It was the price of our first journey and we just stuck to it. We were never asked for more or given change so assume it was OK. Subway stations will indicate where bus stops are located. One strange thing was the front of the buses indicated the stop they were arriving at rather than the destination, so it helps if you know the number and destination in advance.

Getting around Pusan

by IreneMcKay

The subway in Pusan is very user friendly. The ticket machines have an English language option. A day ticket cost 3,500 won. Stations are sign posted in English. There are 3 subway lines and interchanging is easy and straight forward. Download a map off the internet before you go and you cannot go wrong. Exits list sights and bus routes in English.
