Renovated Airport Bus Operations Commence on July 31
□ From July 31, 2025 onward, coinciding with the holiday season, ten airport buses will run regular round trips.
□ Gimhae Airport Buses will cover two routes: ▲ Line 1: Between Haeundae·Gijang and Gimhae International Airport, with the first departure from Gijang at 04:50; and ▲ Line 2: Between Seomyeon·Bujeon and Gimhae International Airport, with the first departure from Bujeon Station at 06:00.
○ Line 1 (Haeundae·Gijang) leaves Banyan Tree Haeundae Busan and passes Jangsan Station, Haeundae Beach, and Hanwha Resort Haeundae, before reaching Gimhae International Airport via Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
○ Line 2 (Seomyeon·Bujeon) utilizes the Bus Rapid Transit network, starting at the BRT stop at Bujeon Station and proceeding past Seomyeon Station (Lotte Department Store).
□ Adult fares are ▲ 9,500 won for Line 1; and ▲ 7,500 won for Line 2. Public transit transfer benefits are not applicable.
○ Fares are approximately 500 won less than those of the prior airport bus service, which was discontinued in 2024.
○ Reservations require a credit card. Onboard payments take credit cards and transportation cards. Please note that buses are cashless.
□ On-site boarding is unavailable once all seats are filled, so booking through Bustago, an intercity bus booking app, is strongly recommended.
○ QR Code tickets are scanned upon entry. Seat selection cannot be made in advance.
□ The new service improves on its predecessor by: ▲ shortening travel time on Line 1 by using Gwangandaegyo Bridge instead of the Suyeong Intersection; and ▲ taking advantage of the Bus Rapid Transit network on Line 2 rather than the Dongseo Overpass, with stops adjacent to Dong-eui University Station and Jurye Station.
□ Linked to the Busan Bus Information Management System, live bus locations and schedules are accessible on Kakao Map and Naver Map, which enables more accurate arrival predictions and boosts operational reliability.
□ For passenger comfort, two or fewer pieces of baggage are permitted free of charge, provided the combined weight does not exceed 30 kilograms.
○ Each bus has 23 spacious reclining seats, complete with USB charging ports, personal lights, and Wi-Fi.
○ Powered by hydrogen-electric technology, the vehicles emit nothing but water and air—an environmentally friendly upgrade that helps reduce fine dust pollution.
□ Due to service overlap, effective July 31, City Bus 2029 will no longer run to and from Gimhae International Airport.
