SEOUL, September 23 (AJP) - Seoul's newest water transportation service, the Hangang Bus, officially began operations on Sept. 18.
This new public transit option is expected to become a significant attraction for both tourists and locals, offering a unique way to experience the city.
The Hangang Bus navigates a 28.9-kilometer route, connecting seven key piers along the river: Magok, Mangwon, Yeouido, Apgujeong, Oksu, Ttukseom, and Jamsil. The full journey from the Magok pier to the Jamsil pier takes approximately 127 minutes.
The fare for a single trip is 3,000 won ($2.2) . Travelers can benefit from a transfer discount when connecting to or from other public transportation. It is important to note that cash payments are not accepted; fares must be paid with a transportation card or other cashless methods.
Passengers can check real-time operational details, including schedules, remaining seats, and service cancellations due to weather, through major mobility applications such as Naver Maps and Kakao Maps.
