Introduction

Are you planning to travel from Incheon Airport to your accommodation near Mapo, Namdaemun, Euljiro, Myeongdong, or Chungmuro in Seoul? Most travelers prefer to be dropped off right at the "front door" of their hotel. The 6015 bus is the premier choice for those with heavy luggage, as it stops directly in front of major landmark hotels such as the Garden Hotel, Lotte Hotel Seoul, Ibis, Royal Hotel, Kukdo Hotel, PJ Hotel, and G3.

However, you may have several practical questions before your trip: "What is the 6015 bus timetable?" "Can international visitors book tickets online in advance?" or "Can I pay directly with a T-money card or credit card?" Furthermore, if you are traveling with family, it is essential to check the "luggage limits and extra fee" regulations beforehand to avoid any confusion.

As a local Seoulite, I have gathered all this information to ensure your smart transportation. Start your Seoul journey on the right foot with this 2026 latest 6015 bus guide, covering everything from boarding locations to payment tips!

1. Brief Introduction to the 6015 Bus

Among the airport buses traveling from Incheon Airport to Seoul, route 6015 passes through Mapo Station, where you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Han River. It then circles through Namdaemun, Korea's largest traditional market, and Myeongdong, the most bustling area for international visitors.

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 hotel.

  • Center Lane: In high-traffic areas, bus-only lanes are located in the innermost part of the road. To board, passengers must cross the street to a platform that sits like an island in the middle of the road.

  • Curbside: Stops located on the regular sidewalk where pedestrians walk, rather than in the center bus lanes.
  • Stop Names: The names in this table are provided by the bus company to guide foreigners to nearby hotels. It is best to verify the "Stop ID" on-site.
  • Boarding/Drop-off: Not every stop allows both boarding and getting off. These are marked separately.
