Hi everyone!

So I just moved to Busan about a month ago, and I have having a hard time finding out what time my bus comes to go to work every morning...It seems pretty random. Is there a way I can find out when it comes? I went on the Busan bus schedule site, but I could not figure out how to get the website to tell me this information.

Also, I found a web site that says you can text message the Busan transpiration department with your stop number and they will text you back the estimated times that the bus will be coming. Does anyone know how this cell phone service works? I tried following the instructions, but again, I could not get this to work either!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!


BTW, here is the site with info on the cell phone gig:

Thanks!

If you have an iPhone there is an app for that.

I would imagine every 5-10 minutes.

You dial: 1588-2902

A machine will jabber some stuff.

Then punch in your 'bus stop number' which can be found on the bus stop sign, or sometimes posted on the glass pane of the bus stop (depending on the kind of bus stop).

After that, input the bus number, and the # key.

For instance, if you wanted to find out when the next 67 arrives (and lets just assume the bus stop number is 02-324) you would:

Dial 1588-2902

Press 02 324

Then press 67 #.

Of course, this would probably tell you the arrival time in Korean.

The second option would involve using your phone's mobile web to get the arrival time:

Press 2902 on your phone, and then press your mobile web key (Nate, Show, ezi). Punch in your bus stop number, hit OK, and then it will should show you the ETA of all the buses.

And adding to what sharkey said, it is possible to find the time intervals for your bus. Some buses come every 10 minutes, while some come every 30.
