Bus Subway Incheon International Airport Airport Korea City Air Terminal


The Seoul Metropolitan Government is to operate newly designed buses on the newly adjusted routes as of July 1, 2004.
New bus stop signs are more easily recognizable than the prior ones, which are colorized according to the type of city
buses: Blue, Green, Red and Yellow. The following is a detailed description of each bus.
Blue Bus : Blue buses operate at higher speeds and access the median bus lane connecting suburban areas to downtown Seoul. The city government is partly in charge of their operation. Three kinds of buses comprise the Blue Bus category: bendable bus, CNG (compressed natural gas) bus with a lower platform, and regular large-sized CNG bus. The blue color represents Seoul's skyline and the Hangang (River).

Green Bus : Green buses are flexibly operated by private bus companies, and connect to major subway stations or bus terminals in downtown Seoul. Green buses are similar with the city bus and the community shuttle bus currently in operation. Green represents the mountains surrounding the city.

Red Bus : The red buses are designed specially for those commuting between downtown Seoul and the greater metropolitan area. The color red represents speed.

Yellow Bus : Yellow buses circle downtown Seoul and stop at stations for blue buses and at major railway stations, as well as business, tourist and shopping areas. Yellow was selected for its dynamic and friendly image





Seoul City's subway system is one of the most convenient and fastest systems in the World. Seoul's subway system consists of 9 lines (including Bundang line) operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation (SMSC) and the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (SMRT), and the Korean National Railroad (KNR). The color-coded subway lines are easily recognizable.
