I must be missing something but every major city i've ever traveled to has at least a night bus system to pick up the slack when the normal bus routes and the subways stop. However, i haven't been able to find any information on night buses in Seoul, although I have seen a couple buses running around Kangnam at 1am-ish.

I'm trying to get down to Bundang, or anywhere close that will allow me to go out on the weekends without spending $25 for a taxi ride home. But even in general...any late night public transportation?

hey Shane, I have the same problem as you. I live in Seongnam City, which is near Bundang. We should somehow try to share a taxi.
Holla back!

If I had to take a 25,000 Won cab ride I think I'd sleep in a jimjilbang (sp?) for a few hours and wait until the buses start up again.

DVD Bangs are good too. Some can be quite comfy. Just pick any of the Lord of the Rings Movies and you'll have it for hours.

Or, alternatively, just keep drinking and pass out in the gutter.

You are SOL. The best thing to do is cab (or bus if you can) to Yangjae Stn. and catch one of the Seongnam taxis that wait there all night for people just like you. They are cheaper and won't charge you for going into Seongnam, you do however pay two taxi flag fares. I think it works out cheaper in the end.

If you stay up until 5.30 you will be able to use public transport. Other than that I would suggest finding people in your area who go to into Seoul too and arrange to share the taxi fare.
