Transportation in Korea
In the big cities the major forms of transportation are the bus or subway. There are also many taxis in the cities. There are two kinds of taxis, the silver-grey (regular) and the black (deluxe or jumbo). The regular taxis start with their meters at 1,600 won (about US$1.23) while the deluxe start at 4,000 won (about US$3.10). This gives you a certain amount of time. The meter then begins to add for any extra time. The deluxe or jumbo taxis are nicer cars. The only difference I could see was that one cost twice as much as the other, so we avoided using the black taxis.Travel between the cities is by either bus or train. The photo at the left is the Inchon Bus Terminal. As you can see they are quite modern buildings. Some bus terminals in the big cities are older.
