Transportation to Busan City Center from Airport

You can use buses, with convenient access to many points in the city, to reach the city center from Gimhae International Airport, which is located near Busan city in South Korea. Various alternatives such as car rental, metro, taxi and airport shuttle service are available to bring you to the city center from the airport, which provides transportation to and from numerous cities such as Hong Kong, Manila, Taipei, Beijing, Osaka, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Shanghai. Although the fastest and practical means of transport are taxis, the fares can be much higher when compared to public transport. Metro and airport shuttles are also quick and convenient alternatives, but the metro can be a bit more exhausting and challenging alternative for passengers who travel long distances with difficult-to-carry luggage.

Bus

InterCity buses, which can be found on the first floor of the domestic terminal of the airport, are the most economical option to take advantage of travelling from the airport to Busan city center. The buses depart from the airport and carry passengers to Okpo, Jangseungpo, Gohyeon, Gwangju, Suncheon and Gwangyang. Some buses, on the other hand, are departing from the first floor of the international terminal of the airport. Bus fares are usually convenient and you can pay it in cash. After arriving by bus from the airport to Busan city center, you can continue by taxi or other alternative means of public transportation. You can travel in the direction of Haeundae by bus 307, which can be accessed from the first floor of the domestic terminal. The fare for the bus is 1,300 won for each passenger and if you use the special cards valid on the buses, you can travel by paying less, i.e.1,200 won.

Limousine Bus

From the interesting transportation options available at Gimhae International Airport in Busan, limousine buses are a great alternative for those who prefer a more convenient and privileged journey when traveling by bus. The fare for limousine buses is higher than the conventional buses; they transport the passengers to the city center for a fee of between 6,000 and 7,000 won. You can travel on routes such as Seomyeon and Haeundae by limousine buses departing from the stop number 2 on the first floor of domestic and international terminals.

Gangseo Buses

Buses that you can use to get to the smaller settlements around the city carry passengers on the Gangseo-11 and Gangseo-13 lines towards Ulman/Gupo Market. Buses, also known as “town bus”, depart from the stop outside of both domestic and international terminals and carry passengers for 1,300 won (if you pay with cash) and for 1,160 (if you use special transportation cards).

Metro

Airport Shuttle

The shuttles run between 05:50 and 22:40 and depart every ten minutes make it easy for passengers who want to go to a different terminal. The airport shuttle is free for all passengers.

Taxi 

In Busan there are two different categories of taxis: classical and luxury taxis. Classical taxis waiting ready for the passengers at any moment at the exit of the terminal ask for a 20% increased fare for journeys during night time and to out of town. Classical taxis charge 2.800 won for every 2 kilometers. Luxury taxis, on the other hand, charge 5,000 won for every 3 kilometers. It is a good idea to let your drivers know where you want to go before boarding the taxi and to make your decision by getting information about current prices.
