Village Buses
A guide to village buses, the small neighbourhood shuttles that link alleys and hillside streets, sorted by Seoul's 25 districts, the cities of Gyeonggi, and Busan, Ulsan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, Sejong and other cities. For each route we look at where it starts and turns back, first and last buses and how often they run, fares and transfer discounts with city buses and the subway, transit cards, and low-floor buses and accessibility, based on official notices.
Fares and numbering differ from city to city and routes are reorganised often, so each guide states the date it was checked and points you back to the city, district office or bus company for numbers that change.
The "Village bus finder" on this page lists the village bus routes of a neighbourhood with first and last buses and headways, shows the stops, buses on the road and arrival predictions for a route, and estimates the ride time and arrival time between two stops. The data comes from the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Gyeonggi Province and MOLIT TAGO; actual service can vary with traffic.
