Hello

just wondering if anyone can tell me the earliest and latest bus times for the buses in Gwangju, i.e mostly the red ones, No 1, No 7, No 9 etc.
Also, is it the same on weekdays as weekends?

(I asked this at the info centre downtown, but the girl there said she didn't know. Usually they're very helpful, but not really on this occasion.)

Thanks

No, I mean the local buses that only do Gwangju, i.e out to the suburbs and into the city centre.

I am not trying to be smart, but have you looked for a timetable where you get on and off the bus? Sometimes, they put up a little sticker which tells you how often the buses run and when the first and last buses are.

Thanks, I have a timetable booklet, but it seems to only list the intervals between the buses, and not the starting and finishing times.

I love this site.
Not just Empas has one, Yahoo Korea does and others do, too.

Here's the info you need:

http://traffic.empas.com/Traffic/Bus/GwangjuMain.asp?CID=5000&LMenu=3&SLMenu=&Menu=1&Mode=14

Click on the bus numbers and you can see the route, bus stop locations and first/last bus times, e.g. Red Bus Soon-Hwan #1: 첫차 (first) 05:40 | 막차 (last) 22:47


Very Happy

Where I live, I have only ever seen that at the ma-ul bus bus stops, which I never take.

'Cos I have nouse.

And instead of looking at Cyworld on the internet every time I have no work to do, I search for things that may be useful for me in the future.

I'm surprised that girl did not think to look on any of the traffic pages in Korean, or called a bus company for you. However, if she nevers takes public transport, maybe she doesn't think she needs to know. Rolling Eyes
