South Korea Transportation: 116 reviews and 75 photos

Getting a cab in Seoul is usually quite easy. You go to the curb, wait 3-30 seconds and wave your hand (arm extended, hand pointing down with palm facing you, as if sweeping toward you). There is a little light in the cab as well as on the roof--if it's on then the cab is free. Sometimes, however, there aren't any around. Tip #1: go to a busier street.Cabs are usually around hotels, restaurant districts and financial/poitical areas--especially at night.

If you really can't find a taxi call 1588-3382 (normal taxi), 1588-0082 (black cab) or 02-888-2000 (jumbo taxi).
