Local Transit

Crew tip: BRT is reliable for Songdo. Airport buses run 24 hours.

taxi

Available throughout city. Kakao T app works. Fares lower than Seoul.

Crew tip: Taxis best for production moves in Songdo. Most drivers unfamiliar with film terminology.

Getting Between Locations

Incheon is spread across distinct zones. Songdo to Chinatown: 20-30 min by car. Ganghwa Island: 1 hour from central Incheon. Airport to Songdo: 15 min. Plan for zone-to-zone travel time rather than thinking of Incheon as one compact city.
