📖 Inside this lesson

🚌 Korean Bus Types Explained 🇰🇷
Korean buses can look confusing at first because there are several types, each with a different color and purpose. Here's every type you'll see, made simple.

🚍 The Bus Types

🏙️ 시내버스 (si-nae beo-seu) — City bus
The most common bus, running routes within a city. This is what you'll use most day to day.
🏘️ 마을버스 (ma-eul beo-seu) — Neighborhood (village) bus
Smaller buses that cover short local routes and hilly areas, often connecting to subway stations.
🌆 광역버스 (gwang-yeok beo-seu) — Express (metropolitan) bus
Connects a city with nearby cities — for example Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi area. Usually has seats for longer rides.
🛣️ 시외버스 (si-oe beo-seu) — Intercity bus
Travels between cities across the country, departing from intercity bus terminals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Don't worry about memorizing them all — for everyday travel in a city, the 시내버스 (city bus) is what you'll ride most. Pay with a T-money card and tap on and off. 💛
