City Bus Buses in Daegu are divided into four categories: main line, express line, circular line, and branch line. It is quite convenient to take buses because the transfer between buses and subways is available. Express lines provide faster travel time and less stops from the outskirts to downtown, and the interval between buses is shorter than regular lines. Main line has a 3-digit figure, and the other express, circular and branch lines have their own unigue numbering system, so it is easy to recognize. No fees are charged for transfers within 30 minutes from the time of your leaving the first bus. Transfers are only available using a transportation card. Transportation card Transportation 112 113
