Subway Riding

I have to say, it's pretty easy to get around using public transportation in Seoul. They seriously have to do something about the TTC if they want to make Toronto a "World Class City" like they're always talking about. The subway lines look pretty complicated:


I have to commute a bit over an hour to get to work. If you want to know which lines you should take to get to your destination, you can use the online path-finding whatchamacallit. Below is how I get to work (start from yellow line; the fare for this distance is 1400 won, which is a little less than $2 CDN):


Since most Korean streets aren't named, the exits are numbered to make things easier. When you're meeting somebody at a subway station, for example, you can say, "Meet me at exit number 5." You can give directions this way too. Some stations are quite large, and have many exits.


The most number of exits I've seen so far at a station is 15:


There's not much to say about the platforms, but I found these cross-legged people amusing for some reason, and took a picture (this is at Apgujung Station, which is the station I get off to go to work).
