 |
|
I take a taxi from Haebangchon to Seocho station every weekday morning at about 6:30 am, to be at Samsung Station at 7ish.
If anyone has morning classes at Samsung station and would be interested in sharing a cab with me, I�m into it. I figure if we get two people, we�d share the cab to Seocho (~5000 won all together) but if we get three or four, we�d take the cab all the way to Samsung-Dong and skip the subway all together.
Alternately, if anyone just wants to share a cab to Seocho regularly, that's okay too... but if I can skip that crowded subway, the better.
Anyone into it? |

You mean 401, right? 402 doesn't come within a kilometer of either Seocho or Samsung Stations.
I end up taking a taxi to Seocho three days out of five because the walk to the bus stop alone is 10 minutes. Add rain or yellow dust and that's no picnic. Add another 7 minutes (average) waiting for the bus itself and the inconvenience of having to stand on the bus (half the time) and I think it's worth paying up to five bucks a day for transportation.
Especially when I wear high heels.
I see all the teachers schlepping their books to company classes at that hour. Surely there's one or two who also see the benefit of carpooling.
Until then, I'll continue to pay about ten bucks a day... to save myself about an hour of time. |

| Not trying to rain hailstones on your idea or anything. I did mean the 402, though. It runs along the Namsan ring road and goes to Ga(n)gnam station. If you're 10 minutes from the 401, though, you're 10 minutes down a hill from the 402, so moot point with them there heels and all. |

I have a consistent schedule. I take a lot of cabs. That's all. Feel free to PM me, anyone.
I'm either a ten minute downhill in heels to the 401, or 8 minutes getting an aerobic workout up to the 402, and sweatng through my suit at it
I know the seoul bus system well. There's an excellent website. I just end up paying close to 40,000 a week on taxis at fairly regular hours and think that there might be someone else out there who appreciates paying a bit to not ride in the soup on line 2 in the early morning. I know that there are a few english teachers living in a Haebengchon. If you can suggest a more appropriate website for this I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, no worries. Princess hates riding a soupy subway. Hell, sometimes I apply vaporub under my nostrils (a la the post-mortem scene in "silence of the lambs") to manage the nausea of swimming in line 2 a.m. air. |
