Seoul's Metro is simply breathtaking, with 337 stations spread out across 816 km of track, working hard every day to move the city's 26 million residents. The metro is fast, frequent and reliable, whilst also arguably having the most character and design of any metro I've ridden in Asia. In this video, I'll explore the Seoul Metro, as well as the city's suburban rail network, before finally showing you a montage of the footage of trains that my friend's captured across the world in the past year. Watch till the end! Enjoy!

    To be honest, I would rather take the CCN, then take a train to Town Hall, even if it means it's 2 minutes longer. It adds some interest to the same journey that gets boring eventually. Its also shows that now we have multiple options, something Sydney lacks.

    Military road is bad. Outside of major roads, in Wahroonga, it's anywhere where you need to cross over a train line. There's only a few (single lanes) places you can do it in the area, and with several schools in Wahroonga there's a big gridlock every afternoon that's just as bad as Military Road. Developers keep building apartments but local govt won't widen the bridge over the railway.

      What's your main quibble with the metro. I would make the point that, apart from an improvement in amenity (travel time and increased services) between Bankstown and Epping, and some extra Sydney Trains services, there is no increase in rail coverage until beyond Epping. But I guess that wasn't the goal. They could have probably managed a couple of extra stations too. And seating. But capacity over comfort.

    My biggest gripe with Seoul’s metro is that signage is terrible. On platforms even for Korean speakers such as myself its annoying trying to understand when the next train is as screens keep on cycling between useless tabs such as one indicating times for first and last service. This is even worse on board where screens cycle between ads so often its hard to know which direction you’re going in and where you’re stopping. Plus only screens over every second door on each side display this information! Its so annoying, especially in peak hour when it isn’t always practical to turn around in circles. I wish they’d just have horizontal displays in the space between opposite doors on every train instead of just some models. Tokyo does a much better job at this in my opinion (especially since the overhaul they did in the leadup to the olympics). Line 9 runs express but unfortunately doesn’t have passing loops at every local station. They also have a shortage of staff and trains and many many other problems which really dampen its potential unfortunately. Until now Seoul has taken a page off of Tokyo’s book and mainly used metro like trains on its whole network. Lines like the gyeonggi-jungang line used to be heavy rail and were converted over. This has helped standardize the overall network, but they are now working on the GTX which will work more like an intercity/RER mix. Koreans have been able to pay for their transport fares with simcards and credit cards (and all sorts of trinkets such as rings) for years so there hasn’t really been an incentive update machines. You can also top up via an app but if I remember correctly foreign cards incur a surcharge. You also forgot to mention that Seoul utilises buses A LOT with many commuter bus routes. To help with this many bus lanes have been painted throughout the city with huge bus stops that almost function as a humungous BRT system.

    I love this proposal. Best of luck with this. Hopefully you can pull it off. I love: A) how the route starts at Olympic park which is more centrally located for most Sydney residents than the CBD and connects to the future metro station, stage 2 light rail , TOD and is a similar distance from both airports. Hopefully this will entice the construction of a north-south metro route through Sydney olympic park and improves connection to the "central River city". B) the focus on regional growth. I see this benefiting the southern highlands, Yass region, Canberra, Seymour, and Shepparton in the short-medium term well before the route to Melbourne is complete. C) your point about the ease of getting on and off a train compared to a plane. The "door to door" commute will likely be shorter. D) one last point is that to get to net zero we need to reduce flights. A high speed rail is a pathway for this.

      I think you mean 610x. It will probably stay for a while and they will see how much people start using the Metro. Previous governments have said they want to reduce buses coming into the city .. so you may see less 610x or even have more services along the m2 feed into Macquarie Uni Metro.

      Not exactly stop for stop the metro is faster. For example from Bankstown to Central it will stop all stops but will beat the current expresses (which only stop Bankstown Lakemba Campsie and Marrickville) by a few minutes. Epping to Chatswood also shaved 4 minutes after metro conversion.

    Shortening the 288 to Macquarie University when Metro is Extended can make Epping Boys High School More Worse. The Reason is Because my School has 1,400 Students and Epping Station gets Busy Everyday along with the Bus Stop. Never Shorten the 288 To Macquarie Uni. My School needs more Bus Services and 288 Shortened to Macquarie Uni when Metro is Extended can make Epping Boys High School More Worse as their are too many students and too few buses.

  • @ethans-dk4bk

    The 288 Should be Shortened to North Sydney So it can operate between Epping and North Sydney to Avoid the Sydney Harbour Bridge Toll Which Cost $2 dollars when it is less busy and Cost $4 dollars during Busy Times. We should operate the 288 between Epping and North Sydney So That Frequencys Increase and we need more Services to Epping Boys High School which needs a Metro Station.

    I am all pro-migrant and all that, my grandparents were migrants and I am eternally greatful they came here, but where's all the water coming from? We don't have enough water for the people we have, let alone more. Get more water, and I'm on board. Also, you're oversimplifying everything. Also, we need more people in rural areas than the cities. I am also all for more zoning at stations. But in either case, we need more water. Also, yes, we should have greater density too, but it should be balanced. I completely agree with you when we get more water. What makes Australia more full than it was last century comes down to our water supply. Also, more migration justifies MORE transit and more roads, which is a good thing. The claim that the environment is worse because of migrants is ridiculous as those people still exist just elsewhere, and our roads and transit are crowded, but there's no reason why we can't build more. You don't want to compare Sydney to New York when it comes to traffic, but, we're still at the stage where we can fix that, and more people=more transit too which is good for everyone, but we really need more water before we can increase our population

Base off on that, it’s probably will be open on either on the 24 or 25 of August. Unless they change the track work dates or cancel the metro track work all together, that’s the most likely date to be open.
