When you travel around Jinju, what you'll use most will be a bus or a taxi. What most tourists here do is to take a taxi rather than a bus, because the taxi fare is pretty cheap, and almost all bus drivers here are too aggressive. But if you'd like to go out of your way and blend in with the locals, a bus would be a better option for you.
Here is how the bus system works in Jinju.
- Bus Fares: Adults 1,300 won(1,250) / Adolescents 900(850) / Children 650(600) *Cash(Card)
- Payment: Cash or card (T-money, Cashbee, Hanaro, and all sorts of deferred payment cards)
- Bus Numbers:
Taxis here work almost the same as other cities in Korea. The starting taxi fare is 2,800 won for the first 2km, unless it is between midnight and 4am, when the fare goes up 20%. If you go beyond their business areas, which are usually "dong" areas, the extra charge will also apply. (20%)
When you take a taxi, you just say your destination followed by the honorific ending "-yo(요)." For example, "Homeplus-yo(홈플러스요)." If you want to sound more polite, you can say, "(Your destination)-lo kajuseyo(로 가주세요)."
