Route overview
Compare the AREX all-stop train, airport buses and taxis for a practical trip to Hongdae and Hongik University Station.
Compare the Main Options
Hongik University Station is directly served by the AREX all-stop train, but luggage, operating hours and the walk from the station can change the best choice.
| Option | Start | Destination | Transfers | Typical duration | Useful when |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AREX all-stop train | Airport Terminal 1 or 2 | Hongik University Station | Direct | Roughly one hour; confirm the current timetable | Most daytime trips with manageable luggage |
| Airport limousine bus | Terminal bus stop | A current route serving the Hongdae area | Usually direct to the selected stop | Traffic-dependent | Accommodation close to a confirmed bus stop |
| Licensed taxi | Terminal taxi stand | Exact accommodation | Direct | Traffic-dependent | Groups, heavy luggage or late arrival |
Practical Decisions
- Use the all-stop train, not the Seoul Station-only express, for a direct Hongik University Station trip.
- Confirm the final station exit and walking route before arrival.
- Check the last service if immigration or baggage collection may run late.
