[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

The nearest airport is KimHae in Busan. Direct limousine buses connect to Masan Station and the bus terminal every 15-20 minutes (W6200, 45 minutes).

[edit] By bus

Masan's intercity bus terminal serves destinations in the vicinity. There are frequent buses to Busan and Jinju (W4000, one hour).

There is also an express bus terminal near the baseball stadium. The Nam Bu bus terminal is also in South Masan (남마산) near Kyung Nam University (경남대학교).

[edit] Get around

There are several city buses, most run north-south from the train station and bus terminal in the north down to Woryeong APT in the south. Many buses will also go out to Changwon, Jinhae, or some villages in the rural areas of Masan.

If you see a bus going to 경남대 or 월영A, they're heading south to South Masan (Nammasan or Sinmasan). If you're going somewhere else in the city, you may find it best to take a taxi.
