🚏 Korean Phrases for Riding the Bus 🇰🇷
Riding a city bus in Korea is simple, and a few Korean phrases make it stress-free. You wait at the 버스 정류장 (beo-seu jeong-ryu-jang) — "bus stop" — and tap your T-money card when you get on and off.

🗣️ Is this the right bus?

버스 ○○ 가요? (i beo-seu ○○ ga-yo) → "Does this bus go to ○○?"
Just put your destination in the blank.

🗣️ Not sure where to get off?

어디서 내려요? (eo-di-seo nae-ryo-yo) → "Where do I get off?"

🗣️ Your stop is coming up

여기서 내릴게요 (yeo-gi-seo nae-ril-ge-yo) → "I'll get off here."
Pressing the stop button (, bel) also signals the driver.

🗣️ Changing buses or to the subway?

환승돼요? (hwan-seung-dwae-yo) → "Can I transfer?"
With a T-money card, transfers within the time limit are usually discounted automatically.
