I seek first and last bus times and bus stop locations for those generally white big buses that cost W1400 with the card and often come in numbers like 1500-2, 3500, 7007-1 etc. Pages in English is preferable.

And could you please help me with this page, http://kin.naver.com/db/detail.php?d1id=8&dir_id=810&eid=neNqA/aVOuwe4EK7AmlUOV7iPm9mlvh6

I click the magnifying glasses to try to see where it stops at that area but nothing pops up. I don't want to wander around the area trying to find which direction and where I need to take the bus from, it must be on the internet somewhere... I'd like to tell other people too where to take the bus from without having to physically be in the area myself and hunting down the right spot to get on.

Thanks!

I've only taken a couple of buses in Seoul, so not sure if they following links will be helpful or not:

I think part of the problem is that these arent Red Green Yellow or Blue buses that I'm curious about. And I seek exact stopping points at each bus stop.

For example, yes it's nice if I can take a bus from Gangnam to Hongdae but it's no use if I have to hunt around forever in the Gangnam Station area trying to find out where the bus stops and which side of the road I need to be on to catch it.

In one of the most internet happy societies in the world... this stuff has got to be on the internet somewhere. Everytime I want to catch a bus from one far away place to another I should be able to find it somewhere instead of just by word of mouth or something.

Thanks for trying though.

These ones might be better, but they're mostly in Korean, so you might have to get someone to help you to navigate:

(you can put the starting and ending places in and then the numbers of the buses pop up on the map as well as a list on the left side - again, not sure if it's going to give you exactly what you're looking for, but it does a good job for within the city)

Sorry couldn't help you much.

Only yellow(��ȯ), blue(����), green(����) and red(����) buses on those websites. Red and yellow ones cost 1400��(card). Green and blue, 800��(card). On any official sites, there is no mention of white coloured buses. Maybe they are the buses that belong to ��⵵, not to ����? Or they haven't yet finished renovating all the buses they have after the recent traffic reform started? I think there is some kind of mismatch.

From �μ���(�����) to ���ǵ� on 7007-1? It says it takes an hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and the interval between buses is pretty long, which is 40 to 50 minutes. What do you particularly want to know from that page?

This looks like the entire route for the 7007-1 bus:

Wow, thanks everyone. Sticky? Anyways, the website that was what I was looking for is http://local.naver.com/map/bus/

Adequate knowledge of Korean is useful to use it though.

Edit: To find what I wanted, I had to click the ���� link on the green bar at the top.

I was able to find the numbers you were talking about at that link. I guess as long as you click on the Gyuhng-gi link on the left after selecting "bus" it should work.

I wonder what the other link is all about that I posted? Guess it's possible for two different companies to have the same number buses although it seems like the routes aren't exactly the same. Though it seems like some of the stops are the same - have to get the wife to help me figure this one out...
