  These two apps are a great way to get around. The left side is Kakao Maps and the right side is Naver Maps. Both are great apps to use, try using both apps and see what you prefer to use.

    You can use different types of transportation by car, bus, subway, walking, or bike. It also tells you the wait times of the buses and subways, how long the walk will be and how much you will be paying for the trip. It also tells you how many seats are available and how many stops are left to where you’re at. Usually, the fare will cost a little bit more when traveling past 11 pm.

Step 4## Step 4: Select how you want to get there

    Once you select the way of transportation and how you want to get there; get on the stated numbered bus, and if you miss the bus you can either wait for the next one, or it will give you another bus to get on that has the same route.

                     

Step 5: Follow the way

     Next is to follow the directed way to get to the bus, walk to the bus stop, scan your T-money card before your trip, and ride the bus until you arrive at your exit. When you get close to your exit, press the stop button that is usually next to the window and scan your T-money card again before leaving the bus.

            

     The purpose of scanning your T-money card is to record how long you travel and if you don’t scan it the second time it will charge you as if you took the whole route of that bus schedule.

Step 6: Arrived Destination!
