Attention travelers who love Korea: The Seoul government has just announced that starting in 2018, bringing outside drinks onto city buses is prohibited. To ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers, drivers may refuse boarding to those holding drinks or food when preparing to board.

Korean public transport such as subways and buses currently has no regulations on eating or drinking — consuming food or beverages is completely allowed, and there are even snack stalls selling food and drinks inside subway stations. However, the Seoul government stated that carrying drinks on buses could lead to spills due to sudden jolts, posing safety risks to other passengers. Therefore, it has decided to implement a policy banning passengers from bringing drinks or food on buses, and drivers may also refuse boarding based on the situation.

Although many people choose to bring outside food and drinks for convenience and to save time during their commute, this often leads to disturbances or inconveniences due to the instability of bus rides. The Seoul government’s new regulation is expected to take effect as early as January 19, 2018.
