Rail travel via AREX provides the most predictable travel time as it avoids the heavy traffic of the Gyeongin Expressway. While limousine buses offer more drop-off points throughout the city, they are subject to road conditions. Taxis provide door-to-door service but at a significantly higher price. For reaching central Seoul Station, the train is the fastest option.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
