please help:

im heading down to pusan from daegu to take the Betttle ferry to japan.

what is the name of the train station i should exit the mugunwa train when going towards pusan from daegu? is it the last stop before pusan station?

and just to be greedy, any idea what id say to the cab driver to get me to the Bettle ferry terminal?

i know, i suck. i have actually looked online for this info.

the difference is a buck or two - or at most three

get the subway from where you end up to Nampodong then head north on foot to the terminal for 10 minutes, leftward from the sun in the morning and rightward from the sun in late afternoon

it's pretty easy

worst case scenario you show your destination to the taxi driver and pay an extra buck or two at most - "Ilbon" =Japan.

so just to decipher....i can get off either at pusan station or whatever the 2nd last station is on the rail line?

the subway isnt an option. i need door to door or ill get lost. any idea what to tell the cab driver?

thanks

It's much closer. There are good maps in the subway station and
some maps outside to help direct you. I suppose if you ask about anyone
for the ferry terminal they can point you in the right direction.

Here is the satellite view of the terminal building:

Here is the main road with the subway exits:

Here is an overview of the area:

Get off at Busan Station, walk out front and into a cab and say "부산국제여객터미널 (Busan-gook-jae-yeo-gaek-teo-meen-neol)". If thats a mouthful, then try saying "Pelli tawminal", as most busan taxis that congregate around Busan Station are used to hearing just about everything from foreigners going to the ferry.
