On-Campus Circulation Shuttle Bus
On campus, you can get around by on-campus circulation shuttle buses. Many students take this shuttle bus line after arriving at the main gate of SNU by city bus or airplane limousine bus.
Library Shuttle Bus
Library shuttle buses are night buses for students who study at the Central Library until late at night. These will also take you to either the subway station or Shillim-dong.
SNU operates nighttime shuttle buses for students studying at the library into the late hours at the library. You can take the bus right in front of the Administration Building (Bldg. #60) from 21:10 to 23:10, every 30 minutes. From 21:10 to 22:10 three buses are available whose routes are all different: the left one heads for Shillim-dong, the bus on the right side goes to SNU subway station line #2, and the bus in the middle will take you to SNU subway station line #2 via Shillim-dong (the direction is looking down from the Central Library). Meanwhile, four buses are available at 22:40 and 23:10. You will be able to see four lines of students waiting for the bus in front of the Administration Building (Bldg. #60). The two on the left side head for Shillim-dong, and the other two on the right side go straight to SNU subway station line #2. Destinations of the library shuttle buses are the same as the off-campus shuttle buses that run during the day and are available during the academic year only.

Shuttle Bus for Students with Disabilities
There are shuttle buses equipped with wheelchair lifting devices for handicapped students. These buses are specially operated in order to provide better mobility for physically challenged and/or blind students. Detailed information for each type of shuttle bus is as follows. SNU provides special free shuttle buses only for SNU students with physical disabilities and/or blindness. The purpose of running this shuttle bus is to help handicapped students get to their classrooms more easily and further enhance their mobility on and off-campus. These buses are equipped with wheelchair lifting devices, and a helper is always present on the bus for your safety and convenience. The bus route will be newly decided every semester after considering the size of the user group and each individual’s destinations. In order to take advantage of this bus service, fill in the application form at the SNU Center for Students with Disabilities (located on the ground floor of the Administration Building #60, next to the post office) before the semester starts. You can also schedule the shuttle bus for one-time use by contacting either the Center at 82-2-880-8787 or the bus driver at 011-9143-8787.
