Team Bus from Seoul ICN Airport to Gangnam

Seoul's international airport at Incheon (ICN) has a truly impressive highway bus system stretching from the airport to all parts of Seoul. Travel time is about an hour. These bus routes are non-stop until they get to Gangnam or the Olympic Park region of Seoul. These are not local city bus routes, but special airport transfer bus lines.

Past experience and speaking with locals reveals the bus is strangely more efficient than taking the train from the airport.

For those going to stay in Gangnam, there are several buses available. The one detailed here goes to Gangnam Metro Station.
