Using Ddareungi in Seoul

Seoul’s public bike share is useful for short city hops, but it is not the same as having your own bike for a proper ride.

  • Good for short city hops and last-mile links
  • Check the app for stations, bikes, and current passes
  • Family Pass allows under-13 riders under parent supervision
  • Not a replacement for a checked route or your own bike

  • Towing has increased sharply in Seoul

  • Seocho lists bike roads among immediate-removal zones for badly parked shared e-bikes

  • Full-size bikes: usually weekends and legal holidays only
  • Folded folding bikes are treated much better
  • Use first or last subway car where allowed
  • Hangang Bus has reported bike racks, but verify current service
