Many cyclists arrive in Busan after completing their epic Seoul to Busan bike tour.  One of the biggest questions after giving your bum a rest and celebrating your achievement is how to get back to Seoul. There are 4 bus terminals in Busan, knowing which one to use can be very helpful.

  • Closest bus terminal to the last certification center: SEOBU bus terminal
  • Only bus terminal to go to Incheon airport: BUSAN CENTRAL bus terminal
  • To smaller nearby cities DONGRAE intercity bus terminal
  • To Seoul and smaller cities Haeundae Intercity bus terminals, discussed in a previous post.

  • Intercity bus terminals (시외버스터미널): serve cities in the immediate province or area and stops more than express buses.

  • Many times a bus terminal have both above terminals inside one building.

Online bus ticketing websites

Unfortunately many of these websites are in Korean, only works in Internet Explorer and only accepts Korean bank cards. If you use them, it's best to ask a Korean to help.  That said, just rocking up at any bus terminal and buying tickets on the spot is easy and there are usually more than enough available.
  • National Intercity bus tickets : bustago, easyticket, busterminal, dongseoul
  • National Express bus tickets: kobus

Hi there! Thank you very much for all the information you share. I have a quick question regarding how to get to the Express Bus Terminal with the bike. Are there any bike paths from Haeundae or from Seomyeon? I will need to get there on a weekday, so no subway.. Thanks!
