Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I land after midnight — how do I get to Gangseo?
Night bus N6000 runs after the regular buses stop. N6000 leaves T1 at 00:10, 00:50, 01:30, 02:10, 03:40 and 04:20 and stops at Songjeong Stn. · Yumchang Stn. (Seoul GAS) · Gangnam Express Terminal. Buy the N6000 ticket first at a ticket counter or kiosk (T1 1st floor, T2 B1) before boarding at the airport. Outside those times a taxi is the realistic option — see the fare estimate on this page.
Q. What's the fastest way to Gangseo?
Rail is the most predictable: the all-stop AREX stops at Gimpo Airport Station with no transfer — about 38 minutes from T1 (44 from T2), the shortest rail run into Seoul and unaffected by traffic. From there, Lines 5 and 9 connect to Magok and the Gangseo district office area.
Q. Then when would I take the bus?
Routes 6003, 6018 and 6014 make sense when your accommodation sits far from Line 5/9 stations, or when you'd rather skip the metro transfer with heavy luggage.
