Times are departures from the first stop, so buses reach mid-route stops later. Main stops are listed for one direction; stop locations can differ slightly the other way. Check live arrivals on Naver Map.
If you miss the last train
- Take an Owl bus
Most nightlife areas — Myeongdong, Hongdae, Gangnam, Dongdaemun, Itaewon — are on an N route. The station search above also lists the N buses that pass nearby. Buses come every 20–40 minutes, so check the next arrival first.
- Taxi — night surcharge 10 pm–4 am
Regular (mid-size) Seoul taxis add a night surcharge from 10 pm to 4 am — 20–40% depending on the hour. Deluxe and large taxis add 20% at night (per Seoul's 2022 fare revision). Pay only what the meter shows, and skip any driver who wants to haggle.
- First trains around 5:30 am
At most stations the first train leaves between about 5:10 and 6:00 am. If it's not long to wait, catching the first train is an option.
- Check where the last train goes
Last trains often end partway instead of running to the end of the line. If the table's “last train to …” stops short of where you're going, take an earlier train.
