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.

There are two on-campus routes.
  • Route1: One is circulating the whole campus counterclockwise, following the boundary of it. This route includes 18 bus stops starting from the main gate of SNU and ending at the College of Business Administration (Bldg. #58). During the academic year, this shuttle bus runs from 08:00 to 19:00 and ends one hour earlier during Summer/Winter Sessions.

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.
