Our researched notes are written from a sourced entry: every shared taxi, boat and village bus with its operator, its rule, its fare and the year we saw it, and what could not be confirmed. Nobody has done that work for Daejeon. What is above is what we hold from open sources; nothing here pretends to be more.
