Hello there! It's been almost a year! Haha.
In this post I wanna share how to get a free shuttle bus from Seoul <--> Busan! You guys love free stuffs right? Everyone does. #youdontsay
Normally, if you live in Seoul or nearby, like Incheon, you'll need approximately KRW 60,000 or USD 52.80 for a round trip from Seoul to Busan by train.
If you have a passport, then you are eligible for this!
The first thing to do is to visit this link:
Read the pop-up notes carefully.
Then you will notice the calendar for the schedule, please note that you can only book at the maximum of D-11. So, if you want to travel at 12 August 2012, make sure that you have applied for it before 2 August 2012. If you have decided the date, then click on the name of your destination, either Busan or Joenju.
Another page will come out, just click "I Agree" then you can fill out the registration form. Easy, eh? Fill it according to your real data, because I think that they will check it.
The seats are very limited, so there will be a kind of lottery. They will pick the lucky ones RANDOMLY. The ones who are close to departure from Korea will most likely get it. However, pray for it! Haha. In my case, I did not get it, but my friend, Conal got one and since he applied for 2 seats, he asked to join him.
In D-10 there should be a confirmation email. If you don't get it, then sorry, try again! Otherwise, you well get the ticket and you can print it out and bring it with you at the D-Day.
The meeting point for going to Busan is here:
It is easy to get there, once you get out from the Gwanghwamun Station, you can see colorful buses in 100-m radius. You have to ask the committee there to make sure that you are in the correct bus! We got a nice "Visit Korea" tumbler from them. They are so kind.
There will be 2 resting area during the trip. However, I suggest you to bring some snacks or lunch since it will take 5-6 hours (you need to bring your own food). Bringing gadgets would be better, to kill the time, of course!
I think that's all what I need to share. I hope you can get the ticket! Happy traveling! Enjoy Korea!
Let me know if you get one, I will share to how to survive in Busan at a minimum cost, my version. Haha.
Note: Changes of system may occur in the future.
