Have your travel date and payment method ready, then book through KOBUS. Website bookings are available **until 1 hour before departure**.\n\nThe figures and travel information in this article are based on terminal and KOBUS information checked on November 9, 2026.\n\n## From Booking to Boarding\n\nAfter choosing your departure terminal, buy your ticket, check the boarding platform, and board the bus, in that order. Choosing a mobile ticket lets you skip ticket issuance at the counter. If you plan to collect a paper ticket, allow time to have it issued.\n\n1. Check your departure terminal. Nopo appears as Busan on the express bus booking screen. For Sasang, look for Busan Sasang or West Busan (Sasang).\n2. Open the express bus schedule finder on the left side of this site. Enter your departure point, destination, and travel date to check schedules and fares.\n3. Select a seat and pay under express bus booking on KOBUS. If departure is approaching, use the express bus mobile app listed by KOBUS. At the terminal, buy tickets at the ticket counter or an available ticket machine.\n4. Check how your ticket will be issued. For a mobile ticket, open it in the app's booking confirmation menu and keep it ready. Print home tickets, and complete counter ticket issuance before departure.\n5. Find your boarding platform using the electronic display and your ticket. Check the bus's destination and departure time against your ticket. Scan your ticket's QR code at the E-PASS terminal and sit in your assigned seat.\n\nThe [KOBUS booking guide](https://www.kobus.co.kr/ugd/mrsgd/Mrsgd.do) states the following about ticket issuance:\n\n\u003e Tickets cannot be issued after the departure time.\n\nTo collect a ticket booked by credit card at the counter, bring the card used for payment. If the connection was interrupted during payment, check the booking confirmation menu to see whether the booking succeeded. Do not assume your booking is complete simply because you attempted payment.\n\n## Comparing Nopo and Sasang Terminals\n\nNopo and Sasang are terminals with different addresses and operators. Even buses to the same destination may leave from different terminals. Before choosing whichever looks closer on a map, check the departure point on the booking screen.\n\n| Category | Nopo | Sasang |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Official name | Busan Central Bus Terminal | Busan Seobu Bus Terminal |\n| Other names used | Nopo Terminal | Seobu Terminal, Sasang Terminal, West Busan |\n| Address | 2238 Jungang-daero, Geumjeong-gu, Busan | 201 Sasang-ro, Sasang-gu, Busan |\n| Operator | Express buses: Busan Central Bus Terminal Co., Ltd.; intercity buses: Busan Dongbu Bus Terminal Co., Ltd. | Busan Seobu Bus Terminal Co., Ltd. |\n| Express bus departure label | Busan | Busan Sasang, West Busan (Sasang) |\n| Nearby rail station | Nopo Station, Metro Line 1 | Sasang Station, Metro Line 2 and Busan-Gimhae Light Rail |\n| Information phone number | 1577-9956 | 1577-8301 |\n\nNopo houses both express and intercity bus operators. For intercity buses, look for the labels Busan Dongbu or Nopo. Do not apply the KOBUS change and cancellation rules in this article directly to intercity buses.\n\n## Which Destinations Can You Reach?\n\nBoth terminals have express buses toward the Seoul metropolitan area and Honam. At Nopo, you can also check services toward the Chungcheong region and Dongdaegu. The destinations below are examples listed in the guidance, not a complete route list.\n\n| Direction | Examples of express buses from Nopo | Examples of express buses from Sasang |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Seoul | Seoul Gyeongbu, Dong Seoul | Seoul Gyeongbu, Dong Seoul |\n| Incheon and Gyeonggi | Incheon, Seongnam, Yongin | Check by searching departures for your travel date |\n| Daejeon and Chungcheong | Daejeon (Yuseong), Cheongju, Seosan, Dangjin | Seosan, Dangjin |\n| Gwangju and Jeolla | Gwangju, Jeonju, Yeosu, Suncheon | Gwangju, Naju, Yeosu |\n| Daegu | Dongdaegu | Check by searching departures for your travel date |\n\nNopo's intercity bus information also lists destinations in Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Gyeongsang, and other regions. If your destination does not appear in the express bus search, check the intercity bus information. Check the Busan Central Bus Terminal website to distinguish between Nopo's express and intercity services.\n\nSeoul Gyeongbu and Dong Seoul are different arrival terminals. Do not choose a ticket based only on the city name. Check the first and last departures and fares for each date using this site's express bus schedule finder.\n\nThe number of entries in the KOBUS destination list is not the same as the number of routes. Intermediate stops or transfer rest areas may appear as separate entries. Contact each terminal if you need the total number of routes.\n\n## Getting There by Subway and City Bus\n\nUse Nopo Station to reach Nopo Terminal and Sasang Station to reach Sasang Terminal. Nopo and Sasang are on different rail lines. After arriving at the station, follow the signs toward the terminal.\n\n| Destination | Metro and light rail | Examples of listed city buses |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Nopo | Nopo Station, Metro Line 1, Exit 3 | Routes 17, 29, 37, and others; express route 1002 |\n| Sasang | Sasang Station, Metro Line 2, Exits 3 and 5; Sasang Station, Busan-Gimhae Light Rail | Toward Busan Station: 61, 59, 15, 161; toward Seomyeon: 31, 33, 160, 138-1, 77 |\n\nThe Sasang Station exits are listed in the [directions to Busan Seobu Bus Terminal](https://www.busantr.com/sub01/02.htm). The city bus numbers are taken from each terminal's transport information. Before traveling, recheck the current bus stops and direction of travel.\n\n## Understanding Standard, Deluxe, Premium, and Late-Night Fares\n\nStandard, Deluxe, and Premium indicate bus classes. Late-night indicates a fare based on the departure time. Class and time period may appear together, as in Late-Night Deluxe.\n\n| Label | What to check |\n| --- | --- |\n| Standard | Standard-class fare and seating layout for that departure |\n| Deluxe | Deluxe fare and seating layout for that departure |\n| Premium | Whether the service runs on that date and the Premium fare |\n| Late-night | Departure time and the final fare for that class |\n\nKOBUS announced a 9% fare increase starting with the first departures on October 1, 2026. Tickets booked before the increase retain the previous fares. However, changes made on or after October 1 are subject to the increased fares. This is stated in the [September 22, 2026 fare adjustment notice](https://www.kobus.co.kr/cscn/ntcmttr/readNtc.do?ntcNo=20260922001).\n\nThe legal basis for surcharges is Article 9 of the Guidelines for Adjusting Fares and Rates for Passenger Motor Transport Services. Late-night surcharges and surcharges based on seating capacity must be distinguished. Both provisions set surcharge limits, not actual fares.\n\n| Category | Applicable conditions | Surcharge limit |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Article 9, Item 5: late-night surcharge | Departures from 22:00 to 04:00 the following day | Up to 20% of the daytime fare |\n| Article 9, Item 6: seating-capacity surcharge | Services operating with at most 21 seats | Up to 30% of the Deluxe fare |\n\nDo not read the seating-capacity surcharge of 30% as the late-night surcharge rate. Do not estimate the payment amount by adding the increase and surcharge rates to an old fare. Check the actual amount in the search results after selecting your travel date and class.\n\n## Ticket Counter and Facility Locations\n\nSasang's official facility guide lists the locations of its nursing room and luggage storage area. For some facilities at Nopo, there is not enough evidence to confirm their locations. If you need a particular facility, call the information number before visiting.\n\n| Facility | Nopo | Sasang |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ticket counter | Express bus counter, 05:40 to 02:00 the following day | 1st-floor ticket counter |\n| Self-service ticket machine | Call the information number to check location and availability | Ticket machines beside the 1st-floor ticket counter, credit cards only |\n| Waiting area | Waiting hall and rest area | 1st-floor waiting hall |\n| Convenience stores and dining | GS25, emart24, Paris Baguette, restaurants, cafés | CU on the 1st floor; food court and coffee shops on the 2nd floor |\n| Nursing room | Location and operating status need confirmation | Beside the food court restrooms on the 2nd floor |\n| Diaper-changing table | Location and operating status need confirmation | Inside the accessible restroom in front of the 2nd-floor food court |\n| Storage lockers | Location and operating status need confirmation | Luggage storage area beside CU on the 1st floor |\n| Accessibility | Restrooms, parking, and accessible routes need confirmation | Accessible restrooms in the 1st-floor waiting hall and 2nd-floor food court; designated accessible parking on every parking level |\n\nSasang has ATMs at the 1st-floor main entrance and the drop-off area. The terminal connects to Apple Outlet. Facility locations are available in the [Busan Seobu Bus Terminal facility guide](https://www.busantr.com/sub02/04.htm).\n\nCheck locker sizes, availability, and fees on site. Unconfirmed facilities at Nopo should not be assumed to be absent. If you use a wheelchair, also ask about the route to the boarding platform.\n\n## Parking Fees and a Calculation Example\n\nGeneral customer parking at Nopo costs 1,000 won for the first 30 minutes. After that, an additional 300 won is charged per 10 minutes. No confirmed parking fee is available for Sasang, so you will need to contact the terminal.\n\n| Nopo parking category | Fee checked on November 9, 2026 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Brief entry and exit | 5 minutes free |\n| Initial parking period | 1,000 won for 30 minutes |\n| Beyond the initial period | 300 won per 10 minutes |\n| Daily parking | 8,000 won per day |\n| Discount for compact or eco-friendly vehicles | None |\n\nThis example assumes parking for 10 minutes beyond the initial 30 minutes. For a total of 40 minutes, the calculated fee is 1,000 won plus 300 won, or **1,300 won**. This amount is calculated using the listed rates.\n\nDo not subtract the 5-minute free entry-and-exit allowance from the initial parking period. A vehicle does not receive a discount simply because it is compact or eco-friendly. The reference is the [Busan Central Bus Terminal parking fee guide](http://www.bxt.co.kr/parking_fee.html).\n\n## How to Change or Cancel a Booking\n\nManage KOBUS bookings through the booking confirmation/cancellation/change menu. You may change the departure time, number of tickets, or class once, until 1 hour before departure. There is no change fee, but a fare difference may apply.\n\n1. Open your booking details on the website or app where you booked.\n2. If you are keeping the same date, check the available changes to departure time, number of tickets, and class.\n3. To change the date, check the cancellation conditions and seat availability on the new departure. You must cancel the existing ticket and book again.\n4. Before canceling, check the fee and refund amount displayed on the screen.\n5. After completing the process, check your booking details to confirm the change or cancellation.\n\nFor tickets bought at the terminal, ask the issuing counter about changes and cancellations. Departure times cannot be changed for tickets purchased with mileage points. To make a change, cancel and book again.\n\n### Fees by Cancellation Time\n\nCancellation fees depend on how long remains before departure and the category of the departure date. The table below reflects the KOBUS guidance revised on May 1, 2025. For intercity bus tickets, check the rules of the booking service where you purchased them.\n\n| Cancellation time | Monday to Thursday departures | Friday to Sunday and public holiday departures | Departures on dates subject to Seollal and Chuseok rates |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Until 2 days before departure | 0% | 0% | 0% |\n| From 1 day to 3 hours before departure | 5% | 7.5% | 10% |\n| Less than 3 hours before departure, but before departure | 10% | 15% | 20% |\n| After departure, but before the scheduled arrival time | 60% | 60% | 60% |\n| After the scheduled arrival time has passed | 100% | 100% | 100% |\n\nThe table's 60% fee after departure applies from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. From May 1, 2027, a 70% fee applies to this period. Holiday rates apply from 2 days before Seollal or Chuseok through the day after the holiday.\n\nTickets issued on the day of departure can be canceled free of charge within 1 hour of issuance. However, the designated bus must not have departed. After departure, a fee applies regardless of how much time has passed since ticket issuance.\n\n## How to Use Rest-Area Transfers\n\nA rest-area transfer means changing to another express bus at an intermediate stop. Nopo's information lists Nakdonggang Rest Area and Seomjingang Rest Area. Check actual connections by searching for transfers on your travel date.\n\n| Transfer rest area | Connecting destinations listed by Nopo | Listed times and points to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Nakdonggang Rest Area | Seoul Gyeongbu, Dong Seoul, Incheon, Seongnam, Cheongju, Yongin | Nopo lists services at intervals from 06:20 to 20:00; actual connections need confirmation |\n| Seomjingang Rest Area | Gwangju, Yeosu | Nopo lists services at intervals from 06:00 to 18:00, while the general KOBUS transfer guide lists 08:00 to 22:00 |\n\nThe listed times for Seomjingang Rest Area differ by source. Neither should be treated as confirmed operating hours. Contact Busan Central Bus Terminal at 1577-9956 to ask about connections on your travel date.\n\n1. Select transfers in KOBUS express bus booking.\n2. Enter your departure point, final destination, and date to check available connections.\n3. Check the bookings for the segment to the transfer rest area and the onward segment.\n4. Check the tickets and departure times for both segments before traveling.\n\nThe [KOBUS rest-area transfer guide](https://www.kobus.co.kr/ugd/trtrgd/Trtrgd.do) restricts use during special holiday transport periods. Transfer bookings and travel are unavailable during these periods. Even on regular operating days, not every bus that stops at a rest area is a transfer service.\n\n## What to Check If You Selected the Wrong Departure Point\n\nIf you selected the wrong departure point, check your existing ticket before buying a new one. KOBUS allows changes to departure time, number of tickets, and class. Do not assume that switching between Nopo and Sasang can be handled as a standard departure-time change.\n\n1. Check the departure point on your existing ticket against the address.\n2. Search departures and remaining seats at the terminal you originally intended to use.\n3. Check the cancellation fee for your existing ticket.\n4. Ask the booking service how to change the departure point. If cancellation and rebooking are required, complete them and check the new departure point again.\n\n| Common misunderstanding | What to check |\n| --- | --- |\n| Assuming a ticket labeled Busan can also be used to board at Sasang | The departure terminal printed on the ticket |\n| Assuming a booking completion screen is a mobile ticket | Whether you selected a mobile ticket and have the actual QR ticket in the app |\n| Assuming the payment amount stays the same because there is no change fee | Any fare difference caused by changing class or departure time period |\n| Assuming you can board directly by card without a ticket | Whether that bus has empty seats |\n\nKOBUS lists E-PASS card payment when boarding if seats are available. This uses a transport card or credit card. Because it requires an empty seat, do not treat it as securing a seat in the same way as advance booking.\n\n## Contact Details and Pre-Travel Checks\n\nContact your departure terminal about facilities and bus services. For booking system inquiries, contact the KOBUS customer service center. Before departure, check the service information against your ticket again.\n\n| Contact | Phone number | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Busan Central Bus Terminal | 1577-9956 | Nopo services, transfer connections, unconfirmed facilities |\n| Busan Seobu Bus Terminal | 1577-8301 | Sasang services, facilities, parking fees |\n| KOBUS customer service center | 1644-9030 | Using the booking, change, and cancellation system |\n\nWhen searching for an app, also check the wording used by the organization providing the guidance. KOBUS uses the term express bus mobile app. Busan Central Bus Terminal advises searching for Tmoney GO and Express Bus Tmoney.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eFor express buses from Busan, first check whether your ticket departs from Nopo or Sasang.

Select your departure point, destination, and travel date to check schedules by date. When booking, check the final fare for your selected service."},{"question":"Which subway exit should I use to get to the terminal?","answer":"For Nopo, use Exit 3 at Nopo Station on metro Line 1. For Sasang, Exits 3 and 5 at Sasang Station on metro Line 2 are indicated. You can also reach Sasang Station on the Busan-Gimhae Light Rail Transit."},{"question":"Can I book online when departure is 1 hour or less away?","answer":"Bookings on the KOBUS website are available up to 1 hour before departure. For buses departing sooner, passengers are directed to use the express bus mobile app. Check the remaining seats and the booking screen to see whether you can actually purchase a ticket."},{"question":"Do I need to exchange my mobile ticket for a paper ticket?","answer":"If you selected a mobile ticket when booking, you do not need to have a ticket issued at the counter. Open and check the QR code on your actual ticket in the app. Scan it at the bus's E-PASS terminal when boarding."},{"question":"Does Sasang Terminal have a nursing room and storage lockers?","answer":"The nursing room is next to the food court restrooms on the 2nd floor.

The general KOBUS transfer information lists 08:00 to 22:00, so the hours differ. Confirm the connecting service for your travel date with Busan Central Bus Terminal at 1577-9956."},{"question":"Is a 30% surcharge added to the deluxe fare for late-night buses?","answer":"30% is the maximum surcharge over the deluxe fare for vehicles with at most 21 seats. The late-night surcharge applies to departures from 22:00 to 04:00 the following day. The late-night surcharge is capped at 20% of the daytime fare, and you need to look up the actual fare."},{"question":"Can I board directly with a transit card without a reservation?","answer":"KOBUS states that you can board by paying with a card through E-PASS if seats are available.
