Public transport checklist

  1. Distinguish city, intercity and express buses. Ask the actual operator about pets, size and weight restrictions.
  2. For subways, check the operators of all lines used, including transfers. Keep small pets in appropriate carriers and prevent odors or noise.
  3. Before booking a taxi, disclose the pet and carrier and confirm acceptance. Compare specialist pet taxis if needed.
  4. Ensure the animal fits inside a secure ventilated carrier, bring a pad and avoid crowded times where practical.
  5. Assistance dogs may have separate legal protections and should not automatically be treated as ordinary pets.

KTO and a 2022 Korean government guide describe differences by mode, but the current operator's rules determine admission.
