🚶Hurry, Hurry!（빨리빨리）Culture
In Korea, speed is important in everything you do. This may come as a bit of a surprise to visitors.
For example, in Korean universities, when class is about to end, everyone starts packing up and leaves the classroom as soon as it's over.
Also, at movie theatres, many people leave once the end credits roll.
The culture is noticeable on buses. The following article provides a bit of information about buses in Korea.
🚍Buses in Korea
💡When the bus arrives, move to the door by yourself
When the bus you want to board arrives at your stop, go to the bus door. If you sit and wait, the driver may assume you don't want to board. Also, there are many different types of buses that arrive at bus stops. If multiple buses arrive at the same time, passengers may be getting on and off at the back of the bus stop.
Don't wait and assume that the bus will stop in front of you. Be careful not to miss the bus you want to board!
💡Once you get on, sit on a chair or quickly find something to hold on to!
Korean buses are very fast from boarding to departure. As soon as passengers board the bus, it departs. Compared to Japan, buses tend to be busier. So, if there is an empty seat, sit down immediately. If you have to stand, find somewhere to hold on to.
💡Once you pass the bus stop before your desired stop, get ready to get off!
Prepare to get off before you reach your desired bus stop. As you pass the bus stop just before your desired stop, tap your T-money card first (there is a card reader near the middle door). We recommend tapping your card before arriving at your stop.
You will get off through the middle door, so wait in front of the door. Then, once you arrive, get off quickly. The door doesn't open stay open long, so quickly hop off.. It's essential to wait in front of the door before getting off!
※In Japan, you are not allowed to stand up while the train is moving, but in Korea, it is okay. In fact, if you don't stand up while the train is moving, you will miss the chance to get off.
💡Home delivery and food delivery are convenient and arrives quickly
