Apps to get you around Seoul: City Mapper, Subway Korea, Kakao Taxi and the SFS Vehicle Checkout System
City Mapper is a good way to compare travel time and route options for subway vs. bus vs. driving. It's my "go to" for bus travel.
If you decide to take the subway, "Subway Korea" is your best option.
KakaoT is for taxis.
But let's be honest, even though they were on my phone, it took at least a month to start using them, partially because I was so busy adjusting to a new school, but also because I was too lazy to use them when I could follow people who knew where they were going. So, when you're ready to head out on your own, here are some tutorials.
Here's a quick demo of City Mapper and Subway Korea.
KakaoT
I know many SFS staff use Kakao Taxi (apparently KakaoT now because it includes other types of transport), but I usually stick with my BMW (bus, metro, walk), so I'm not the best person to ask about this service. This vid is from 2017, but apparently there have been some updates, and more of the app is in English. If anyone has a better tutorial (or wants to make one 😍), post the link in the comments, or shoot us an email and we'll swap it out for this one.
How can I check out an SFS Vehicle?
