Bus

One of the most significant things that foreigners must know is traffic.


Today, we are going to tell you about the buses.


To begin with, we will tell you about the essential structure of buses.


The intra city buses in Seongnam are green.


You need to pay either 1200 won for cash, or 1100 won for the card. (It only follows for adults)


If you use cards, you have to pay 100 won at every 5km if you rode it over 10km.


This is the money that is included while get off.

As you can guess, the red buses are red.


You need to pay either 2100 won for cash or 2000 won for the card.(It only follows for adults)


Red buses also have an extra pay while using cards.


You need to pay 100 won for each 5km when you rode it over 30km.


When you use the bus while night time, you need to pay 1850 won.

Transfer is free.


But it is limited to 4 times, in 30 minutes.


Some bus stations have electronic boards,


so you can check the location of the bus you need, and the time that the bus will arrive.


Also, if you want to go back to your departure point,


you need to ride the bus on the station that is on the opposite side


(over the street) of the bus station that you arrived.


However, there are some things you must know. Transfer is only free when you use the cards.


You can use the traffic cards (T-money), or use a credit card that is able for traffic cards.


Transfer is able for bus to bus or bus to other transportations like the subway.


You can put money on the card in convenient stores (Gs-25, 7eleven etc.)


To use the bus card, all you need to do is just put your card on the machine like you can see in the image below.

When you put the card on the machine, a 'beep' sound will follow.


It means that the work has been well done.


And the numbers on the top is the money you used, and the money on the

bottom is the money that is left on your card.

Also, we will tell you how to go to the major places in Korea.


To go to Seoul station form Seongnam city hall,


you can ride No. 51, No. 220, No. 71 bus, and get off at Moran station,


and use the subway. Or you can use the No. 9408 bus and transfer


using No. 471 bus. But the most convenient method is just to use the No. 9003 buses.


To go to Incheon international airport from the Seongnam city hall,
