But I would rather drive my own car. Curious, it would be a beautiful drive, worth taking at least once.

Who knows? One day in the distant future, it may well be possible to take a bus from Vladivostok straight down the East Coast to Busan. (But I wouldn't want to ride all that distance on a city bus....) “I have a picture of a bus idling outside Vladivostok Station with a sign saying it is headed to Busan Station.”

The Korean signs were gone and the buses were highly "personalized." I rode old Korean buses all over the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.

Also, Korea's disel-powered bus fleets are to be completely replaced by CNG (compressed natural gas)-powered buses by 2007. They're well on the way, but those used diesel buses have to go somewhere. The joke's on us, though, because all those particles will end up back here. Given that the Philippines (and some other places) are full of Korean taxis, this doesn’t surprise me all that much.

What's interesting about Korean city buses is that they can only serve one route, since they're plastered with permanent signs. In North America, a bus fleet can be used more efficiently because the signs on each bus can be changed for a different route.
