Hi all-

I'm trying to figure out buses in advance of my arrival in Seoul next week. I'll be commuting every day from Sangdo-2-dong (near Seoul University) to Sogang University. The trip is probably about 45 minutes, but I've been told that if I take the bus #145 it pretty much takes me door to door.

I found this great site in English: http://bus.congnamul.com/SeoulRouteWebApp/view_english/map.jsp

But I still can't figure it out, because when I try to do a route list for #145 I don't get anything like Sangdo-dong, and I can only find Sangdo-dong-1-dong on the map, not 2-dong.

Can anyone figure out how I can get from Sangdo-dong (2) to Sogang in the morning? I need to time it right so I can get to class before 9:00 on Thursday!

Thank you!

that site never works. call 02-1330 and they will tell you anything you want to know.

bus # 145 has nothing to do with sangdo dong or sogang university.
i think there is only one bus which could take you directly to sogang university, the bus # 753. bus system says it will take less than 40 minutes from sangdo 2 dong to sogang university, but this bus' route is located on traffic jam area, so i couldn't tell how much it will take.
try once and choose which to take.
good luck Wink

Thanks! I wonder why my Korean friend was so sure it was #145?? Zeeseong, do you know how often #753 runs? And starting when? (I would probably need to catch it at 7:00-something or 8:00 at the latest).

Also, do you think the subway would be faster? I guess the issue is that the subway is a bit of a walk from the house I'll be staying.

I will try that phone number when I arrive in Seoul. Do they have an English service?

Thank again...
