Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I land after midnight — how do I get to Jamsil?
Buses end between roughly 11 and 11:15 PM for Songpa routes, so late at night a taxi is the realistic option — Jamsil sits on Seoul's east side, one of the longer runs; see this page's estimate.
Q. What's the easiest way to Lotte World?
Bus 6705 runs direct to the Lotte World area — with luggage or kids, that single ride is hard to beat. Routes 6200 and 6300 cover other parts of Songpa.
Q. Is the train worth it for Jamsil?
It works — all-stop AREX to Hongik University Station, then Line 2 straight to Jamsil, one transfer — but the Line 2 leg is long, so the total run takes over an hour. It wins mainly at road-rush hours; otherwise the direct bus is simpler.
