How to access Jeju tour spots by public bus routes

Jeju's Inter-city bus is well organized and if you want to move via bus, it's good to experience Jeju's real life. 

I want to guide public transportation system in Jeju including Udo and I recently heard that it has been improved conveniently as more and more backpackers come to the island.

As following is major inter-city bus map of all Jeju. It has several numbers of 700s.
