There are many ways to travel around Korea, but the most popular way to get from one region to another is by bus. Both express and intercity buses have extensive networks throughout the country, providing transportation from one city to another at reasonable prices. In addition, the buses operate on a timely schedule.

In most cases, both the express and intercity bus terminals are located near the center of each city. However, in some cities, such as Seoul, the terminals are located far from each other. Visitors are advised to double check the boarding location of the bus before departure. Take note that if a bus terminal name includes the word jonghap, it means that the terminal provides both express and intercity bus transportation.

Express Buses

Express buses run on expressways and may stop at a rest area but seldom make a stopover in a city other than the set destination. Different fares apply for ilban (regular or standard) and udeung (luxury) buses. Udeung buses offer additional comfort with wider seats. Late night buses are also available at a slightly higher rate.

Intercity Buses

Intercity buses usually make stopovers at smaller cities while on the way from one region to another region. An intercity bus that runs directly from one region to its destination without any stopover is referred to as jikhaeng (direct route) or mujeongcha (non-stop).
