المعنى
Asking for information about the correct bus route to take.
خلفية ثقافية
The Seoul bus system uses a highly logical numbering system. The first digit usually indicates the district of origin, and the second digit indicates the destination district. Buses are color-coded. Blue buses are for long distances, Green for short local routes, and Red for express commuting from outside the city. The 'Transfer Discount' (Hwan-seung) allows you to switch between buses and subways for free or a small fee within 30 minutes (60 minutes at night). Bus stops often have digital displays showing exactly how many minutes until the next bus arrives. This makes asking '몇 번' even more useful as you can spot your number on the screen.
Check the Color
If someone gives you a number, ask '무슨 색이에요?' (What color is it?) to find it easier at the stop.
Subway vs Bus
Never use '몇 번' for subways. Use '몇 호선' (Line 1, 2, etc.).

Always start with '실례합니다' (Excuse me) or '저기요' before asking a stranger.
