There is a Bus 6015 departing from Incheon Airport to Myeongdong every 20 to 35 minutes. The
waiting time is maximum 20 minutes during peak hours. The first bus departs from Incheon to
Myeong-dong at 5:35am in the morning while the last bus departs at 10:50pm in the evening.
The journey from Incheon Airport to Myeong dong takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on
downtown traffic condition.
BUS 6015 STOPS AT HOTEL PJ, MYEONGDONG SKYPARK 3 HOTEL / NINE TREE HOTEL AT MYEONG-
DONG

Good news for those who choose to stay at Hotel PJ and Nine Tree Hotel in Myeongdong. Bus 6015
will take you from Incheon Airport right to the front of Hotel PJ and Nine Tree Hotel. The station
name is exactly "Chungmuro Station" for Hotel PJ and "Myeongdong Station" for Myeongdong
Skypark 3 Hotel, Nine Tree Hotel, Prince Hotel, Sejong Hotel, L7 Myeongdong by Lotte and Loisir
Hotel Myeongdong. In addition, Bus 6015 also stops at Ibis Myeongdong, Royal Hotel, Best Western
Gukdo and Hotelbiz and Tmark Hotel Myeongdong. Announcement will be made before and when
the bus arrived at each bus stop.

Hotel PJ is a new hotel at Chungmuro Station while Nine Tree Hotel and Myeongdong Skypark 3
Hotel are new hotels near Myeongdong Station. These hotels are always full because of their
strategic locations at the bus stations. Personally, I prefer Nine Tree Hotel which is behind
the "Myeongdong Station".

NOTE: Effective 19 September 2014, Myeongdong Station has moved downward 70 meters from in
front of Sejong Hotel (Exit 10 Myeongdong Subway station) to the new location below in front of
Nine Tree Hotel (near Exit 8 of Myeongdong Subway Station).

BUS FROM MYEONG-DONG TO INCHEON AIRPORT?

Yes, you can take the same bus (6015) from Myeong-dong to Incheon Airport. The first bus departs
from Sejong Hotel (Myeongdong station) at 4:50am in the morning while the last bus departs at
8:35pm in the evening.

If you prefer not to take bus, you can use the AREX train and Seoul Subway to travel between
Incheon Airport and Myeong-dong. Otherwise, you may also taken taxi from Myeongdong to
Incheon Airport. The taxi fare / rate is about the same as from Incheon airport to Myeongdong,
whcih is approximately 65,000Won (plus 7,700Won toll). All said, shuttle bus 6015 is still the most
preferred way for many tourist because it is a cheap, reliable and convenient way to go from
Incheon Airport to Myeongdong or from Myeongdong to Incheon Airport.
AREX / SUBWAY TRAIN FROM INCHEON AIRPORT TO MYEONG-DONG, SEOUL

Taking train and subway from Incheon International Airport to Myeong-dong is the second best
choice because you need to change train line at Seoul Station. The best choice is still to take Bus
6015 (fare: KRW 10,000 = approx US$8.80) that takes you directly to Myeongdong.

Before you continue reading, just be WARNED that taking train to Myeongdong is NOT advisable if
you have to carry heavy luggage with you. You have to walk for about five minutes Seoul Station
to change line from AREX train to Line 4 of Seoul Subway to get to Myeongdong Station. In addition,
the subway station is deep underground. The stairs at subway stations are quite high and long to
climb and the walkway could be bumpy for luggage too.

Therefore, taking Bus 6015 is most convenient in most cases because it will take you directly to
directly to Myeongdong without changing line or station. However, the bus route takes 1 hour 30
minutes while train route would typically take only 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

TAKING AREX TRAIN FROM INCHEON AIRPORT TO MYEONG-DONG

Having said all that, if you prefer to take train, all you need to do is to following these steps:

1. Take the Airport Railway Express (AREX) train from Incheon International Airport Station to
Seoul Station.

2. At Seoul Station, change to LINE 4 of Seoul Metropolitan Subway to get to Myeong-dong,

which is only 2 stations away from Seoul Station.

3. Get off at Myeong-dong Station.

NEWS UPDATE: Good news for passengers who use AREX to go to Myeongdong. From March 2015, a
new passage from AREX platform to LINE 4 platform has been opened to make it easier for
passengers who go to Myeongdong to change from AREX to LINE 4 of Seoul Metropolitan Subway .
This new passage way has shorten transfer walking time from 15 minutes to a short 5 minutes.

TRAIN TICKET FARE FROM INCHEON TO MYEONG-DONG

The one way ticket from Incheon Airport to AREX Seoul Station costs is KRW14,300 (approximately
US$12.60). However, there is a special discount fare at KRW8,000 (US$7.00) from 1 January 2016 to
31 December 2016.

From Seoul Station to Myeong-dong, the Subway ticket price is KRW1,250.

In total, the fare from Incheon to Myeong-dong KRW9,250 (Approximately US$8.15). This is only less
than KRW1000 (US$0.88)cheaper than using Bus 6015.

HOW TO BUY AREX TICKET AT INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT?

Before you proceed to buy the AREX Ticket, it is important to know that there are two types of train
service from Incheon to Seoul. One is AREX which is the express non-stop train from airport to Seoul

Station which will take more than 53 minutes.

We recommend AREX train because it is more comfortable, provides spaces for luggage, free WiFi on
board and has a restroom/toilet on board.
 AREX train is spacious and comfortable

With that said, now lets explore how to buy AREX ticket at Incheon Airport. Upon arrival at Incheon

this at the Seoul Subway Station Vending Machine or Information Center.

2. T-money cards: If you plan to use Seoul Subway to go to places in Seoul during your stay, T-
money card is the best choice. It is a prepaid card that can be purchased at the Subway
station or any convenient stores. Nine Tree Hotel in Myeongdong sell T-money card at their
reception too.

3. M-Pass: This is the best option for those who want to use public transport intensively in
Seoul. You can take up to 20 rides per day with this card. However, it is only commonly sold
at Tourist Information Centers, If you plan to get an M-pass, you can get it upon arrival at
Incheon Airport at the Seoul Tourist Information Center at Gates 5 and 10 on Level 1 of the
Incheon International Airport.

Once you have got one of the above ticket card, just hope on to the platform of LINE 4 at Seoul

Heohyeon Station. Do not board the train heading to Sookmyong Women's Univ.
