Seoul has an extensive bus system that usually runs later than the subway which can be a very handy thing if you get caught on the other side of the city late at night. The Seoul Interactive Bus Map enables you to find buses in your area and also all around Seoul. Simply highlight an area of Seoul on the interactive map, click on "Route Search" in the left menu and you'll be able to find the buses running in that area.
