Explain public transport and taxi routes to your accommodation

## At a glance

• For a first-time visitor, the exit number may matter more than the station name.
• Give the bus stop and travel direction as well as the bus number.
• Too many options make choosing harder; offer one or two main routes.
• Prepare a copyable Korean address for a driver and a place where a taxi can stop.
• For frequent late arrivals, include an alternative after the last service.

Convenient transport still has unfamiliar rules

Public transport is often praised by first-time visitors to Korea, but the first journey requires many decisions: which exit, which direction for a numbered bus, and whether the airport train or bus is better.

Where do guests get stuck?

Large stations have many exits. Choosing the wrong one may mean crossing a road or returning underground. Bus stops can have similar names, and buses in opposite directions can serve the same stop. “Take bus 421” does not explain where to board or get off.

Taxis introduce language questions again. Without an app, guests may need to show a Korean address directly to a driver. A narrow alley can prevent a car from reaching the door. Late at night there are fewer public services, and lengthy immigration queues can mean missing the last one.

What hosts can prepare

Offer one or two main routes

Instead of long descriptions of trains, airport buses and taxis, explain the usual route and one late-night alternative.

Include station, stop and exit

State where to board, where to get off and the recommended exit. Write the journey in order so guests can follow it on a phone.

Provide the Korean address

Make the accommodation address, or the suitable drop-off address, easy to copy and show a driver.

Check where cars can enter

Connect the drop-off point with walking directions if cars cannot use the alley. Mention stairs and steep slopes for guests with large luggage.

Wording you can adapt

From Incheon Airport
Take the airport railway to Hongik University Station and transfer to Line 2. Leave Hapjeong Station at Exit 7; the accommodation is a five-minute walk away. (About 70 minutes)

If you arrive after 11 p.m.
The airport railway may have stopped running. Take a taxi and show the driver the address below. Cars cannot reach the accommodation’s alley, so get off in front of Hapjeong Station Exit 7.

In stayV Host

Arrival guidance can separate airport, subway or train, bus, taxi, walking and driving or parking routes. Keep general neighborhood transport public and precise drop-off details and routes for booked guests. Even with a taxi-app button, guests book and pay within the taxi app themselves.
