Seoul has excellent public transport, but when you're traveling with big/many luggages, with elderly people or small kids, or in a group of 3 or 4 people, or a combination of either, for shorter distance amounting up to KRW 6,000-10,000 sometimes it is more convenient and almost the same or cheaper (total fare divided by number of people) to take taxi vs bus/subway

I just came back from a 3,5 week long trip to Korea (Seoul). The first few days were a bit more complicated than I imagined, but you will get the hang of it. Uber also works fairly well in Seoul. Subway and bus becomes pretty easy after you use it a few times.
@yourkoreafriend Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! :)) I'm sure it will be okay but always feel free to ask us when you need help! ☺️ Try to avoid rush hours when there are so many people getting on the off the subways and buses.

If possible, use a public transport, because in Korea it is so good and easy to use, that there is no need to use a taxi :) In many cases it can be faster to use a metro anyway, because no traffic jams :)

If you have more than two big cases be aware most medium taxis have a huge LPG tank in the boot so not much space. If your lucky you might get an electric taxi which has loads of room for luggage.

Your description of Korean taxi drivers is the same as Thailand's taxi drivers. Refusing to go to a destination even though it's only 30 mins away to a metro station, or when the destination is unknown to them (means not within their comfort range), and they don't speak English. I don't know what these taxis are for when they won't go here and won't go there.

in Kakao T, is there a size option somewhere? we are 5 people in my group, so we can't fit in a regular sized car. since I'm the only one who speaks a bit of Korean and are used to travelling in general, we will have to stay together and not split up into two taxis, so I'm a bit worried about how to find right sized taxis.

If you use Kakao T, is it possible to pay for the trip upfront before the taxi turns up? Just trying to avoid the situation when the taxi wants to charge you significantly more than the indicative price on the app.
@yourkoreafriend Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, you can't because drivers need to use the meter to charge you. To be cautious, keep checking the meter and compare the price on the meter and the app once you arrive. :) If something helps, contact kakao T through the app. Hope this helps!

I don’t think so. Just register an account. Maybe you know Kakao talk (the messenger service most Koreans use) It’s the same account basically. You can use a foreign number there so you should be able to use Kakao Taxi with it too.

Yes, Patty is right ;). Download Kakao Talk while in US and register Kakao account. Then, download Kakao taxi app and log in with that account. :) So Korean number isn't required but you need a data access to use the app. Hope this clarified!
