Introduction
Are you scheduled to arrive at Incheon International Airport late at night? Do you have plans to travel to Mapo, Seoul Station, Myeongdong, or Dongdaemun during these late hours? Currently, there are four night bus routes operating from Incheon Airport. These buses provide an essential service for countless travelers arriving before the Airport Railroad starts its first run, offering a more affordable and comfortable alternative to taxis by delivering passengers as close to their destinations as possible.
However, you likely have several practical questions before using the service: "What is the N6701 bus timetable?" "Can international visitors book tickets online in advance?" or "Can I pay directly with a T-money card or credit card?" For those traveling as a family, it is also crucial to check the "luggage limit and extra fee" regulations beforehand to avoid any surprises.
As a local Seoulite, I have gathered all this information to ensure your smart transportation. Start the first step of your successful Seoul journey with this 2026 latest N6701 bus guide, covering everything from boarding locations to payment tips!

1. Brief Introduction to the N6701 Night Bus
Among the airport buses traveling from Incheon Airport to Seoul, the N6701 is a specialized late-night route that operates from Incheon Airport to Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in eastern Seoul. Because it is a night bus, it has significantly fewer stops compared to daytime airport buses. The primary role of the night airport bus is to transport passengers to major hub areas within Seoul.
The N6701 bus moves through Mapo in western Seoul, Seoul Station (the center of Seoul's transportation), and Myeongdong (which is lined with hotels most frequented by international visitors) before reaching Dongdaemun in the east. It is one of the most popular night bus routes because it covers all the locations most preferred by international travelers for their accommodations.
2. Bus Stop List and Precise Locations
The following stops are organized so you can check their precise locations. We recommend choosing the stop closest to your selected hotel.
-
Center Lane: In high-traffic areas, bus-only lanes are placed in the innermost part of the road for smooth operation. Therefore, passengers must cross the crosswalk to reach the boarding platform, which sits like an island in the middle of the road.
(Seoul bus lane drone view, showing passengers boarding and alighting at a station in the dedicated central lane system.) - Curbside: Stops located on the regular sidewalk where pedestrians walk, rather than in the center bus lanes.
- Stop Names: The names provided in this table are used by the bus company to guide foreigners to nearby hotels. Therefore, it is best to verify the "Stop ID" on-site.
-
Boarding/Drop-off: Not every stop allows both boarding and getting off. These have been marked separately.
