The newly launched Hangang Bus on Sept. 18 heads toward Mangwon Pier after passing Magok Pier in Seoul's Gangseo-gu District. Stopping at seven piers -- Magok, Mangwon, Yeouido, Apgujeong, Oksu, Ttukseom and Jamsil -- the service covers a 28.9-km route at a maximum speed of 23 km per hour. Panoramic view windows inside the cabin offer beautiful views of the Hangang River and Seoul's cityscape.
