Most international passengers use Incheon International Airport (ICN) to enter into the Korea. Some passengers from China or Japan may use Gimpo International Airport (GMP). It is possible to travel via Ship and Train from China and Japan, but it is a rare case. Here we will provide the information on ICN and GMP cases. If you want to use the other cases, you may ask to the IFAC WC ’08 .
At ICN and GMP the visitors can use limousine bus, taxi, and subway, but most visitors choose to take a limousine bus or taxi instead of a subway. We will provide the transportation guide for limousine bus and taxi. The fare of the luxury taxi is higher by 150 -200 % than that of a general taxi.

Local City Buses
Inter-city bus networks connect virtually all cities and towns in the country and are an economical way to travel. Exclusive bus lanes are enforced in the daytime, which makes it less time-consuming to travel by bus. City buses are numbered according to their routes, but since signs are only in Korean and no English timetables are available, it is advisable to know the bus number in advance.

Passengers trains operated by the Korean National Railroad are reasonably fast, reliable, and very inexpensive by world standards. The trains run on a strict schedule and are not affected by traffic congestion during the holiday seasons. An extensive network covers almost every part of the nation. Now Gyeongbu high-speed railroad is under construction and the 1st project will be complete by 2004. The high-speed railroad, safer, faster and economical than any other traffic method, will be a epoch-making transportation method. |
