Intercity Bus

• When planning a trip to regional cities, a bus is also one of the most convenient options to travel around the country. Buses are divided into express buses and intercity buses. The former will take you another region quickly through expressway without any stops, while the latter will go through express way, national highway and/or local road via some regions.

• Express buses come in two types: ilban and udeung. While udeung buses cost a little more, they are more comfortable with a row of single seats to the left and double seats on the right. This provides much more leg room for those long rides. (http://www.kobus.co.kr, Tel 1588-6900).
