Did you know?
- While 정류장 means 'stop', the act of getting off the bus involves the verb 내리다, which also means 'to descend' or 'to go down', even if the bus is on flat ground.
- In many Korean cities, you might see 정류장 signs that are much more technologically advanced than in the West, often including real-time arrival screens and heated benches.
- If you are looking for a subway station rather than a bus stop, you must use the word 역 (yeok) instead of 정류장.
