Busan Tourism Organization shuttle information
Before queuing, establish whether your whole party can obtain the same run. A free service is not an invitation to board any empty seat without a ticket. Ticket-office hours extending to the end of service do not promise seats on your preferred run.
Choose your stop and return before boarding
Danubi Plaza · 다누비광장 → Observatory · 전망대 → Lighthouse · 등대 → Taejongsa Temple · 태종사 → Danubi Plaza · 다누비광장
| Stop | Cumulative distance from the plaza, in route order |
|---|---|
| Danubi Plaza · 다누비광장 | 0 km |
| Observatory · 전망대 | 1.7 km |
| Lighthouse · 등대 | 1.9 km |
| Taejongsa Temple · 태종사 | 2.5 km |
| Danubi Plaza · 다누비광장 | 3.8 km |
Our totals add the published legs: 1.7 + 0.2 + 0.6 + 1.3 km. They exclude sightseeing away from the stops. Getting off at ‘Lighthouse’ is not the same as completing your lighthouse visit. Budget separately for going from the stop to your chosen viewpoint and back, especially with companions who need to limit walking.

Choose a plan for your arrival and companions
Monday or Tuesday
Move a bus-dependent visit to another day. Before substituting a walk, establish which areas are open and how far everyone can comfortably go and return.
Wednesday–Sunday, wanting the bus
Obtain a ticket for your run before choosing stops. Before including the observatory, lighthouse and temple, establish how to reboard at each one.
Late arrival or mobility constraints
Keep the party near the entrance until the outward and return arrangements are clear. With a wheelchair or stroller, ask about the actual vehicle’s boarding and carriage conditions before deciding.
Arriving at 15:50 does not give 100 sightseeing minutes
Hypothetical example: 15:50 to the stated end of service at 17:30 is 100 minutes. Ticketing, waiting, riding, sightseeing, reboarding and returning all have to fit. It is neither 100 minutes of sightseeing nor a promise of boarding from every stop at 17:30. Establish the final return first; reduce the number of stops or choose another day if it does not fit.
The notice does not specify the replacement bus’s last departure from each stop or a guaranteed frequency. We have not used the old train’s ‘every 20 minutes’ claim as a bus waiting-time estimate.
