How to use Seoul Bike (for visitors)

Hello, my name is "GOD OF AIRCONDITIONERS" and today I will post about Seoul Bike!

 


Seoul Bike, a.k.a Da-rung-ei

is a system that Seoul governmnet runs to help people enjoy bicycles in free and convinent way. I usually take the bike to save transportation fee and exercise.


It is the most greatest way to enjoy bikes in Seoul but yet not many visitors know about this system.
So, I'll be posting how to use Seoul Bike step by step.

 


First, find a place to borrow Seoul Bike


As you can see at the picture, there is lots of place to borrow/return Seoul Bike.
You do not have to put it back to the place that you've borrowed, but simply return to any Seoul Bike station in the map.
Green dot indicates there is more than 7 bicycles,
Yellow dot indicates there is 4~6 bicycles,
Red dot indicates there is 1~3 bicycles,
Gray dot indicates there in no bicyles at each station.
So besure to check that the station you are trying to borrow has enough bicycles.




If you go to the station, it will look like this:

Second, decide how long you'll be using Seoul Bike 
Here is Seoul Bike price table below :

What picture is saying in Korean is : 

Age - should be more than 15 (under 19 needs to log in to the website including parental guidance)

Opens - 24 hr, 365days

Price -

Type of Pass 1 Day 1 Week 1 Month 6 Months 1 Year
1hr at a time 1,000 won 3,000 won 5,000 won 15,000 won 30,000 won
2hrs at a time 2,000 won 4,000 won 7,000 won 20,000 won 40,000 won


You have to decide how may days to use Seoul Bike and how many hours that you would like to borrow each time.
I wouldn't really recommend 2 hrs of rental per time because you can borrow Seoul Bike as many times as you want once you have the pass. 
So this is what I would do - buy any pass with 1hr, and if I need to ride it more than 2 hrs, simply return the bicycles at any station and borrow it again : which will reset the time of rental


 


Third, follow the instructions down below.

 

 

 



 

 

After you buy the pass,
Click the button as shown in the picture.


And it will ask for 6 digits of password that you've decided.

 

 

 


Once there is clear sound of ringing (sounds like di-ri-ring~!) you can unlock the bicycle by pulling the green lock :


And pull the bicycle out and enjoy the ride for an hour or two! :D





 


How to put Seoul Bike back 
If you'd like to return the bicycle after usage,
Just simply put on the green lock to the bicycle at any Seoul Bike station, just like you've unlocked it when you first borrowed it.
If it has been locked, it wil say "ban-nap-dae-ut-sum-ni-da" which means "it has returned" in Korean.
