Each month\u00a0I join\u00a0Kurt Achin, host of\u00a0Koreascape<\/a><\/em> on Seoul\u2019s English-language radio station TBS eFM, for\u00a0an exploration of Seoul’s urban spaces. Today we spend a day riding on Seoul’s buses<\/a>, which form a transportation network even more impressive, in its way, than the world-class Seoul Metropolitan Subway. We reveal three of the lines that provide the best\u00a0tours of the cityscape a thousand won or two can buy, point out the kind of attractions you can spot out the windows along the way, break down exactly what\u00a0the various route colors and numbers mean, take a look at the books written specifically about exploring Seoul by bus, and\u00a0figure out why buses here don’t carry the American stigma, as Lisa Simpson once put it, of being only “for the poor and very poor alike.”<\/p>\n Stay tuned for further explorations of Seoul\u2019s architecture, infrastructure, and other parts of the built environment.
