Whatever transportation you choose can affect the quality of your trip. Therefore, you should ponder over transportation, when you make a plan for Seoul trip. In the process of choosing transportation, time and money are important matters to consider. 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, subway is appropriate for you. That's because subway is the fastest among others. As a seoul citizen, I would like to inform you of 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. And there are 420 bus routes. You can get to everywhere in Seoul. In addition, some routes are even connected to Gyeonggi Province. With that bus, you can visit some tourist 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. While looking at the view, you will see what seoul is really like. And it is also good for people whose theme is seeing every part of 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 the doors and windows frequently being opened.

 

Another good way is taking a subway. Its fee is also cheap. The fare is as same 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 It is also easy to transfer the subway. Now, there are nine lines, those lines are connected to each other. Without paying extra money, you can transfer to another.

 

A taxi is also good transportation to travel Seoul. Compared to other transportation, it is expensive. However, taxi is very convenient. Above all, the taxi is the most private transportation among others. You don't have to take a roundabout way. The driver will help you go directly to whichever destination you want. Furthermore, the driver will drive you right in front of your destination. Then, you don't have to walk and you can save time and energy. For people who dislike walking or who are likely to get tired with ease, a taxi is the best choice.

 

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 moving. As you understand the advantages of the each transportation well, you can manage your trip better. If some of you have a plan to visit Seoul, you can get information from my own priority. The top priority is the bus, followed by subway and taxi. I hope you can enjoy the Seoul with my tips.
