Expressway Bus Introduction

The express bus to Yangyang is almost full of seats. The rich man thinks the seats are quite comfortable, and there are cushions to support the thighs, but remember to book tickets in advance. The rich man wants to keep the itinerary flexible this time, so he waited until he left Seoul. I only prepared to book the tickets two days ago. When I booked the tickets, I found that the tickets from Seoul to Yangyang on Friday were almost sold out, so I had to take the train at 1:40 pm in advance. Maybe it’s close to the weekend and everyone wants to go for a walk in the suburbs. Pay attention!
