Electronic swipe-cards must be swiped through a card reader,
installed next to the driver's seat in the bus, within about 5cm from it
either on the bus or on the boarding platform. After the card is swiped
the bus fare is deducted from the money on the card and a voice from the
reader says "Thank you" or "Student bus pass!"
If you swipe the card again when you get off the bus, you
will receive a discount if you transfer to a city bus within an hour.

City Buses
City buses are categorized into ordinary buses, seat buses, and late night
buses, and furthermore, shuttle buses are in operation for residents who
do not have access to city bus services.
Bus line maps are displayed inside the bus, and every bus has an automatic
guidance broadcast that tells the next stop and the direction in which the
bus headed. But it is better to write down the destination or ask Koreans
who can speak English or a foreign language because the bus line map is
in Korean.
¢Ñ City Bus Line Information
- Ulsan City has produced information booklets that provide detailed information
about the time of departure, arrival, stop, interval, etc, of ordinary bus
lines, seated bus lines, shuttle bus lines, which are freely distributed
at the civil service room of city, district office, and country, as well
as at tour information offices.
