  • On January 29, Green Circulating Bus Starts Running Through Major Downtown Points and Tourist Spots in Seoul

  • Traffic News SMG 1964

    On January 29 (Wed.) 2020, yellow buses, or “Green Circulating Buses,” will start their engines to let passengers conveniently move between major downtown points and tourist spots in Seoul with lower fares than that for green or blue buses.

    A total of 27 buses per day will be operating from 6:30 a.m. (first bus) to 11 p.m. (last bus). The fare is KRW 600, half the fare of the existing buses (KRW 1,200). When passengers get on board the “Green Circulating Bus” of the same number within 30 minutes (or within one hour from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.), they are not charged for an additional fare (free transfers are allowed up to four times). The benefit of free transfer is also available between the subway or other city buses.
