korean-transit-route

To find public transit routes between two addresses in Korea, this skill converts addresses to WGS84 coordinates via geocoding, then uses the ODsay LIVE API to generate door-to-door subway, bus, and walking directions. You can request recommended, minimum time, or minimum transfer paths.

Yes, you can search subway and bus routes using a place name instead of coordinates. The skill performs address-to-address geocoding using Kakao Local geocoding to convert natural-language place names into the required WGS84 origin and destination coordinates automatically.

You can compare public transit paths by total time, fare, and walking distance by requesting multiple route options. The skill retrieves several candidate paths from the ODsay API, allowing you to compare total travel time, fare, transfer count, and total walking distance side by side.

You need an ODsay API key to get door-to-door transit directions, but the skill handles safe API key management via a hosted proxy. This proxy prevents exposing your secret keys directly during the routing and geocoding processes.

The best way to get minimum transfer transit directions in Seoul is to specify the minimum transfers routing option. The skill queries the ODsay LIVE API with this configuration to prioritize paths with the fewest subway and bus transfers for your trip.

Yes, this transit routing skill supports walking segments for first and last mile connections. It generates complete door-to-door directions that explicitly include walking portions to and from the subway and bus stations for both origin and destination.
