KakaoBus - Bus & Subway Info

What KakaoBus covers and who it suits

KakaoBus - Bus & Subway Info is a transit app for checking when the next bus or subway train arrives in Korean cities. It is aimed at people who ride public transit most days and want arrival times without searching each time. The listing's summary gives 57 Korean cities as the scope of its real-time information.

Bus coverage named in the listing includes Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon. Subway arrival times and route lookups cover Seoul, Gwangju, Daegu, Daejeon and Busan.

Checking bus and subway arrival times

For buses, you look up a stop to see when the vehicles serving it are due. For subways, the app shows arrival times at a station and finds routes between stations. The listing describes real-time arrival times alongside published schedules.

Saved stops and stations on the home screen

You can bookmark the bus stops and subway stations you use often. Those bookmarks are reachable from the home screen, so you can check arrival times for your usual stop without searching again. This fits anyone who rides the same few routes every day.

Ride alerts for getting on and off

Ride notifications tell you when to get on and when to get off, so you do not miss your stop. The listing warns that these alerts may use more battery, because they rely on location while the app runs in the background.

Location also drives the nearby maps and subway line view. Notifications carry public transit issue alerts as well as boarding and exiting alerts.
