AREX vs Bus vs Taxi Estimator
Use these ranges for planning only; the airport departure board and road traffic decide the actual trip.
1. Daytime Routes 6001, 6002 and 6015
Route 6001 serves the Seoul Station and Dongdaemun corridor, 6002 connects the Hongdae and central-northeast corridor, and 6015 is commonly used for Myeongdong-area stops. Stops and schedules can change, so search the hotel name on the operator route page and confirm the direction. A bus that reaches the neighborhood but stops across a wide road or uphill may still be difficult with luggage.
| Route | Useful corridor | Before boarding |
|---|---|---|
| 6001 | Seoul Station–Dongdaemun area | Match the exact hotel stop |
| 6002 | Hongdae–Cheongnyangni corridor | Confirm direction and live bay |
| 6015 | Myeongdong and central hotels | Check current stop list |
2. Ticket and Payment Rules
At airport terminals, use the staffed counter or vending machine when directed. Terminal 2 requires advance ticket purchase for Airport Limousine services to Seoul. On the city-to-airport direction, the operator states that cash or a transportation card may be paid to the driver, but verify the route’s current rule. Keep the ticket until arrival and tell the driver your stop before luggage is loaded.
3. After Midnight: Current N-Bus Network
Current Incheon Airport information lists N6000 for Gangnam Express Bus Terminal, N6002 for Hongdae–Dongdaemun–Cheongnyangni, N6701 for Seoul Station–Euljiro–DDP, and N6703 for COEX–Jamsil–Gwangnaru. Adult fares are currently listed at ₩17,000 for N6000/N6002 and ₩18,000 for N6701/N6703. Departures are scheduled trips, not a continuous frequent service; gaps can exceed an hour overnight.
T1 night stops are currently 6A for N6000/N6002 and 3B for N6701/N6703. T2 uses the Transportation Center bus terminal. Confirm the live timetable after landing because terminal bays and departures can change.
