Handy Express Bus Transfer Stops — Useful, but Check Direction First

A traveler tried using a highway express bus transfer stop (환승 휴게소) to avoid Seoul traffic and parking stress. The transfer stop at Jeongan Albam is popular and convenient, letting drivers park and board buses bound for Seoul. The writer successfully rode to Seoul but faced trouble returning: their car was parked on the opposite (upbound) side while their booked bus arrived on the downbound side. Crossing the highway by car was impossible; the only pedestrian connection was a narrow, roughly 1 km path and tunnel that is passable only in daylight. The experience highlights the system’s benefits — reduced congestion and parking worries — but warns users to check the stop’s direction (상·하행) and plan parking and return routes, especially at night when walkways can be dark and unsafe.
