- Klook: Sells express bus tickets in English with international cards. Routes and dates are limited, so a search may come back empty.
- Go Hanpass: App in many languages, sign-up with passport and email. You top up a won wallet with a foreign card, then pay from it. Lists express and intercity buses.
- Ticket counter at the terminal: A July 2024 government announcement described foreign cards as already accepted at express bus counters. Busy departures can sell out.
Intercity buses (시외버스)
