Bus Services
- Travelling by bus is a convenient way of getting around town. Citybus
operate regular all stop services from the city to the suburbs. There are two
kinds of city busies, ordinary buses and seat buses. Ordinary buses have only
few seats along the windows and a large standing area, while seat buses have
four seats per row and only very little standing space in the middle(which can
get incredibly crowded during the rush hour) Also, seat buses cost a bit more
and don't stop at all stops of ordinary buses on the same line. For a quicker,
more direct journey, hop onto the Seat bus at designated stops.
- In Pohang, seat buses have numbers like 200, 250 or 300(Click here than you
can see number 300 bus line which runs from Pohang air port to my house),
while ordinary buses have numbers 101, 102, 103, etc. the current prices are
700Won for the ordinary bus and 1050Won for the seat bus.
- You have to drop the money in the plastic box when you enter the bus. the
driver doesn't give change in Pohang but he does so in some other cities, such
as Kyongju. It is also possible to buy bus tickets in advance. There are kiosks
selling them at many bus stops downtown, for instance at the Intercity Bus
Terminal.
- There is one other kind of bus that does not carry number and connects
Pohang with the region around it. There are two buses stopping at that bus stop:
One goes to Kyungju, the other to Angang and then further to Kigye. The bus to
Angang is the best way to get to Yangdong folk village. The price to Yangdong is
the same as for any seat bus in Pohang
