Website bookings are available **up to 1 hour before departure**. Check the boarding location printed on your ticket. Depending on your destination, go to the 3rd or 4th floor of the integrated transfer center.\n\nThe figures and usage rules in this article are based on records checked on November 9, 2026.\n\n## From Booking to Boarding on Your First Visit\n\nCheck the timetable for your travel date, then prepare your ticket. You need a mobile phone to use a mobile ticket. If buying a ticket at the terminal, have a payment method ready.\n\n1. Open “Find Express Bus Times” on the left side of this site. Select Dongdaegu as your departure point. Enter your destination and travel date.\n2. Check the listed departure times and fares by class. Check the first and last departures for your travel date as well.\n3. Book through KOBUS or a mobile app linked by KOBUS. To buy a ticket at the terminal, use the ticket counter.\n4. Check your ticket and the terminal display boards for your boarding location. Use the floor guide for each destination to find your way.\n5. Check the destination and departure time again in front of the bus. Scan your ticket’s QR code at the E-PASS terminal.\n\nIf you select a mobile ticket when booking, you can board without having a ticket issued at the counter. Paper tickets and home-printed tickets are also checked by QR code. After payment, check the ticket issuance status in your booking details.\n\n## Dongdaegu Terminal Location and Contact Information\n\nDongdaegu Terminal is at 149 Dongbu-ro, Dong-gu, Daegu. It is inside the Dongdaegu Station Integrated Transfer Center. Daegu City lists it as “Dongdaegu Terminal (inside the Dongdaegu Station Integrated Transfer Center).” You can check the location and contact details in [Daegu City’s express and intercity bus guide](https://www.daegu.go.kr/tra/index.do?menu_id=00001766).\n\n| Category | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Address | 149 Dongbu-ro, Dong-gu, Daegu, Sincheon-dong |\n| Terminal information | ARS 1666-3700 |\n| Express bus booking | KOBUS integrated express bus booking |\n| KOBUS operator | Korea Express Bus Lines Association |\n| KOBUS customer service | 1644-9030 |\n| Terminal operating company | Company name could not be confirmed in the official information checked |\n\nThe terminal operating company and the booking service operator are separate entities. Contact the terminal about its facilities. For questions about using KOBUS, contact its customer service center.\n\nSeodaegu Express Bus Terminal is an intermediate stop on some routes departing from Dongdaegu. Its address is different from Dongdaegu Terminal’s. Check the departure point in your booking details before traveling.\n\n## Boarding Floors and Destinations Served\n\nAccording to Daegu City’s guide, boarding areas are split between the 3rd and 4th floors. The ticket counter is on the **3rd floor**. The floor assignments are based on information updated on February 7, 2025. On your departure day, check the display boards for your assigned boarding area.\n\n| Floor | Use listed by Daegu City |\n| --- | --- |\n| Basement levels 2~6 | Underground parking |\n| Basement level 1 | Passage to Dongdaegu Station on Metro Line 1 |\n| Double-height space spanning floors 1~2 | Arrival area, baggage center |\n| 3rd floor | Ticket counter, boarding areas for the Seoul Capital Area, Chungcheong, and Honam regions, services to Incheon and Gimhae airports, connection to KTX Dongdaegu Station |\n| 4th floor | Boarding areas for the Yeongnam and Gangwon regions |\n| 5th floor | Passage to the annex parking garage |\n\nThe floor table is sourced from [Daegu City’s Dongdaegu Station Integrated Transfer Center guide](https://www.daegu.go.kr/tra/index.do?menu_id=00932984).\n\nExpress bus destinations include Seoul Gyeongbu, Dong Seoul, and Incheon. Busan, Gwangju, Jeonju, Wonju, Chuncheon, and Uijeongbu are also confirmed destinations. Search using your travel date to check whether services are running.\n\nFor airport services, distinguish between the information for Incheon Airport and Gimhae Airport. Do not read “Incheon and Gimhae airports” in the table as a boarding area for Daegu Airport. For airport-bound buses, also check the destination shown on your ticket.\n\n## Getting There by Subway, KTX, or City Bus\n\nBy subway, get off at Dongdaegu Station on Metro Line 1. There is an underground passage toward Exit 2. From KTX Dongdaegu Station, follow the signs toward the connection to the 3rd floor of the integrated transfer center.\n\n| Arrival method | Directions |\n| --- | --- |\n| Metro Line 1 | Underground passage toward Exit 2 of Dongdaegu Station |\n| KTX | Connection from Dongdaegu Station to the 3rd floor of the integrated transfer center |\n| City bus | Use stops such as “In Front of Dongdaegu Station Integrated Transfer Center” |\n| Private car | Enter the integrated transfer center’s underground or annex parking garage |\n\nListed city bus routes include 156, 413, 524, 651, 708, 909, and 937. Distinguish between stops labeled “in front of” and “across from.” Before boarding, check the current route and direction of travel.\n\nDaegu City lists route 425. Shinsegae’s guide lists route 143 in the same list. These numbers do not match, so check whether the routes currently operate. The sources are [Daegu City’s transportation guide](https://www.daegu.go.kr/tra/index.do?menu_id=00932984) and [directions to Daegu Shinsegae](https://www.shinsegae.com/store/main.do?storeCd=SC00013).\n\n## How to Check Bus Classes and Fares\n\nSelect your travel date and bus class to check fares. Use “Find Express Bus Times” on the left side of this site. Check the final payment amount again on the booking screen.\n\n| Label | What to check |\n| --- | --- |\n| Standard | Fare listed for standard class |\n| Deluxe | Deluxe-class fare and seat selection screen |\n| Premium | Whether the selected departure operates and its separate fare |\n| Late-night | Whether a fare based on a late departure time applies |\n\nLate-night is a category based on departure time. Do not treat it simply as a seating class like standard, deluxe, or premium. Even for the same destination, compare the payment amount for each departure.\n\n### 2026 Fare Increase\n\nA KOBUS notice states that fares increase from the first departure on October 1, 2026. The increase for express and intercity buses is 9%. The notice was posted on September 22, 2026.\n\nTickets booked before the increase retain the previous fare. However, if you change a ticket on or after October 1, the new fare applies. Do not use prices in old timetables to determine current fares.\n\n### Late-Night and Seat-Count Surcharges\n\nLate-night surcharges and seat-count surcharges have different grounds for application. Both percentages are upper limits within the prescribed ranges. Check the actual fare on the booking screen.\n\n| Category | Conditions | Regulatory limit |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Late-night surcharge | Departures from 22:00~04:00 the next day | At most 20% of the daytime fare |\n| Seat-count surcharge | Services with at most 21 seats | At most 30% of the deluxe fare |\n\nThe basis is the “Guidelines for Adjusting Fares, Rates, etc. for Passenger Transport Services.” Check items 5 and 6 of Article 9 separately. The provisions are available at the [National Law Information Center](https://www.law.go.kr/LSW/admRulInfoP.do?admRulSeq=2100000255844\u0026chrClsCd=010201).\n\n## Booking and Changing Tickets in Different Situations\n\nChoose a booking channel based on the time remaining before departure. The KOBUS website uses the name “Express Bus Mobile App.” Follow the links provided by KOBUS to find the app.\n\n| Situation | Method | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Up to 1 hour before departure | Book on the KOBUS website | Route, date, class, and seat |\n| Less than 1 hour before departure | Use the mobile app linked by KOBUS | Whether booking is available for that departure |\n| Buying at the terminal | Check the ticket counter or on-site ticket machine information | Available seats and routes for which tickets can be issued |\n| Selecting a mobile ticket | Board using the ticket in the app | Whether the ticket’s QR code is displayed |\n| Changing the time, ticket quantity, or class | Use the change function in your booking details | Once, up to 1 hour before departure |\n| Changing the travel date | Cancel the existing ticket and book for the new date | Cancellation fee for the existing ticket |\n\nAccording to KOBUS, there is no change fee. However, a fare difference may apply depending on the new class or other changes. The travel date cannot be changed.\n\n1. Open your booking details on the website or app where you bought the ticket.\n2. Check the departure time of the ticket you want to change.\n3. Select an available time, ticket quantity, and class.\n4. Check the fare difference and the new ticket details.\n\nFor tickets bought at the terminal, ask the ticket counter how to change or cancel them. E-PASS also supports boarding after card payment if seats are available. If you want to buy a ticket on site, first check whether this is possible on that bus.\n\n## Cancellation Fees by Timing\n\nCancellation fees vary according to the time remaining before departure. The table below follows the KOBUS express bus booking guide. It is based on the rules revised on May 1, 2025.\n\n| Cancellation timing | Monday~Thursday | Friday~Sunday and public holidays | Holiday periods |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Up to 2 days before departure | 0% | 0% | 0% |\n| From 1 day before departure to 3 hours before departure | 5% | 7.5% | 10% |\n| Less than 3 hours before departure until departure | 10% | 15% | 20% |\n| After departure until before the scheduled arrival time | 60% | 60% | 60% |\n| At or after the scheduled arrival time | 100% | 100% | 100% |\n\nThe 60% fee after departure applies from May 1, 2026~April 30, 2027. From May 1, 2027, a 70% fee applies to the same period after departure. Holiday periods run from 2 days before Seollal or Chuseok through the following day.\n\nTickets issued on the departure day have separate conditions for free cancellation. You must cancel within 1 hour of ticket issuance. This applies only before the bus departs.\n\n1. Select the ticket to cancel through the channel where you bought it.\n2. Check the displayed fee and expected refund amount.\n3. Confirm the cancellation, then check the result.\n\nDo not apply this table as-is to intercity bus tickets from the same terminal. For intercity buses, check the cancellation rules of the channel where you bought the ticket. Recheck the cancellation rules in the KOBUS booking guide before traveling. (Verified rate 60%, May 1, 2026~April 30, 2027 · Source kobus.co.kr · As of 2026-05-01 · Checked 2026-11-14)\n\n## Parking Locations and Free Parking Periods Compared\n\nParking is listed on basement levels 2~6 and annex floors 2~5. The official guides give different free parking periods. First check the posted rates at the parking garage you will enter.\n\n| Information source | Initial free period | Charge after the free period |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Daegu City’s integrated transfer center guide | 10 minutes | 1,000 won per 10 minutes |\n| Daegu Shinsegae parking guide | 30 minutes | 1,000 won per 10 minutes |\n\nThe following is the original wording from Daegu City’s “Dongdaegu Station Integrated Transfer Center” guide.\n\n\u003e Parking fees: First 10 minutes free, then 1,000 won per additional 10 minutes\n\nThe Daegu City page was updated on February 7, 2025. Shinsegae’s guide lists the first 30 minutes as free. The sources are [Daegu City’s parking guide](https://www.daegu.go.kr/tra/index.do?menu_id=00932984) and [Daegu Shinsegae’s parking guide](https://www.shinsegae.com/store/main.do?storeCd=SC00013).\n\nIt is difficult to determine the parking fee conclusively from either guide. If you plan to park for a long time, ask whether a maximum charge applies. Also check on site whether bus tickets qualify for a discount.\n\n## Using Ticket Counters, Waiting Areas, and Amenities\n\nDaegu City’s guide confirms that the ticket counter is on the 3rd floor. Check the locations and opening hours of other facilities on site. Avoid confusing department store facilities with facilities dedicated to the terminal.\n\n| Facility needed | What to check |\n| --- | --- |\n| Ticket counter | Find the counter on the 3rd floor that issues tickets for your route |\n| Ticket machine | Check on-site information for machine locations and supported routes |\n| Waiting area | Ask where you can wait while viewing the departure display board |\n| Convenience store | Check its current location and opening hours |\n| Restaurant | Distinguish the opening hours of terminal businesses from those of restaurants in the connected department store |\n| Nursing room | Ask about its location inside the terminal and available hours |\n| Storage lockers | Ask about locations, storage dimensions, fees, and retrieval hours |\n| Accessibility facilities | Ask about the elevator route to the boarding area and restroom locations |\n\nDaegu Shinsegae provides a separate guide to its restaurant area. Information on the connection between the terminal and department store is also available. Check whether the department store is open in the [Daegu Shinsegae store guide](https://www.shinsegae.com/store/main.do?storeCd=SC00013).\n\nThe exact locations of the terminal’s nursing room and storage lockers have not been confirmed. If you need these facilities, call ARS 1666-3700. If you use a wheelchair, also check whether boarding assistance is available.\n\n## Preparing for Delays When Transferring from KTX\n\nWhen transferring from KTX, check the cancellation rules that apply before the bus departs. The train’s arrival time and the bus boarding time are separate. You also need to allow time to walk through the connecting passage.\n\n1. Check the scheduled KTX arrival time before booking your bus.\n2. Choose a departure that leaves enough time to reach the bus boarding floor.\n3. If the train is delayed, check the time remaining before the bus departs.\n4. If the deadline for changes has passed, check the fee on the cancellation screen.\n\nThe website booking deadline and cancellation fee rules are different. For bookings and changes, check the cutoff of 1 hour before departure. Cancellation fees also change depending on whether you cancel before or after the 3-hour mark before departure.\n\n## Common Mistakes on a First Visit\n\nChecking your departure point and ticket status first can reduce confusion. Even in the same building, arrival and boarding areas are separate. Check the display boards on the day rather than relying on old information.\n\n- Do not treat Dongdaegu and Seodaegu as the same departure point. Check the terminal name in your booking details.\n- Do not assume that the place where you got off a bus is your departure boarding area. Check your ticket and the display boards for the boarding floor.\n- Do not assume that mobile payment alone means you are ready to board. Open and check the actual ticket in the app.\n- Do not assume that free parking lasts 10 or 30 minutes. Check the rules for the parking garage you entered.\n- Do not use fares from an old timetable as current fares. Search again using your travel date.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eBook through KOBUS before using Dongdaegu Express Bus Terminal.
