EIT 200702724 Hyunmin Lee

 

Travelling city is fascinating. But if you fail to choose appropriate transportation for your trip, a situation can be opposite. Therefore, you should ponder over transportation, when you make a plan for city tour. In the process of deciding transportation, saving time and money will be important select standard. And, you have to think about theme of your trip, too. For example, if your theme is visiting every tourism attractions in a short time, the best way is riding a subway. That's because subway is the fastest transportation. Like other cities, Seoul is also crowed. And, there is traffic jam frequently. So, what transportation you choose may decide quality of your trip. As one of citizens in Seoul, I will let you know what the best transportation to enjoy Seoul is.

 

The best transportation to travel Seoul is a bus. First of all, bus fee is very cheap. It's less than 1 dollar. So, you can save lots of money as you use the bus. And there are 420 bus routes. You can get to everywhere in Seoul. In addition, some routes even operate to Gyeonggi Province. With that bus, you can visit some tourism attractions in Gyeonggi Province, too. Another advantage of using bus is that you can enjoy a great view of Seoul. While you move to other destination, you can see Han river, Nam-san or skyscrapers through a window. Since you can see the view, you will not be bored during travel time. And it is also good to people whose theme is seeing every part in Seoul. Fresh air is also one of advantages of using bus. As you know, subway and subway stations are not well-ventilated. But, the bus is ventilated well by being opened the doors and windows.

 

The second good transportation is a subway. Like bus, subway fee is also cheap. It is same price as bus. But, the biggest advantage of using subway is punctuation. Since there is no traffic jam, subway is the fastest transportation in Seoul. Especially in rush hour, sometimes using bus takes two times longer than using subway. Therefore, if you want to visit as many spots as possible in a short time, using subway is the best option. And subway is also easy to transfer. Now, there are nine lines, those lines are connected to each other. Without paying money again, you can transfer to other line.

 

Finally, the last good transportation is a taxi. Compare to other transportation, it is expensive. However, taxi is very convenient. Above all, the taxi operates just for you. You don't have to take a roundabout way. The driver will help you go directly to other destination. Furthermore, the driver will land you right in front of your destination. Then, you don't have to walk and you can save time. For people who dislike walking or who are very tired, taxi is the best choice.

 

 If some of you want to travel Seoul, pay attention to a priority of transportation that I said. The top priority is bus and subway, taxi follow it. This ranking is not a general idea, but you can get help from this information in anyway. In order to make a good trip, you should make a plan specifically from accommodation to transportation. When you travel, you may spend a lot of time on moving. If you understand the advantages of the each transportation well, you can manage your trip better.

  1. Hey girl!

    We've already talked about introduction today.
    So I 'll tell you two more things. :D

    first, whenever I read amount of money on essays, they usually show dollar as well as local money.
    ex) "It's less than 1 dollar (1300won)"
    but I dunno how to express this case, we'd better ask prof.

    And you missed one thing about subway. when you take line no.9, you have to pay extra money. unlike others, line no.9 is private subway. it's very tiny detail though, I hope you to deliver accurate information.

    see you tomorrow

  2. I remember watching a TV documentary.
    The theme of the documentary was treveling with a subway. I think a subway is good transportation to enjoy Seoul. Of course, bus and taxi are good to trevel Seoul.

    Your essay say that a taxi is a good transportation to enjoy Seoul. Then, what about adding Water-Taxi of the Han river.

    Anyway, your essay is very interesting and useful.

    Have a good time:)
