 |
|
On a Saturday morning between eight and nine o'clock, how long would this taxi ride take? (I seem to remember traffic not flowing particularly well in Busan, and the people who work Saturdays would be on the road at that time.)
Cost is less of an issue than time, but I'm guessing roughly between 20 and 25 thousand? |

Take the 1003 bus (right in front of Busan Station) for 1,500 won. It i snot much slower than the taxi (about 45 mins or so - they deal with the same traffic) and much cheaper.
I usually pay 13-15,000 won for Busan Station to Haeundae. |

| Bus #27 from Pusan stn. will take you as far as Kyungsung U., and from there it's about a 6,000 won ride to Bexco, 8,000 to Haeundae stn, and about 11,000 to Jangsan. |

and you got ripped off.....19000 for 30 mins???? Id pay half that....
The highway is quite good, but when its busy your still looking at an hour cab ride, about 14000 won..... |

you can take a bus all the way to haeundae as well, drops you off outside the aquarium. Its just hard to find if you are a first time vistor....its across the square, to the right as you come out, under a bank or insurance skyscraper |

I don't really care about the cost - time is the serious factor in my case. Usually I'd just take a bus or the subway, but I have to make it from Busan Station at 8:30 Saturday morning to Haeundae by 9:00.
Possible in a cab? |

right, because taxi drivers like you so much they just give you 50% discounts. |

It might be possible at that time of day, but it will be close. Taxi will be your best bet though. |
