I have to admit, I think there are very few cities with urban rail systems that can even come close to matching the scale and quality of Seoul’s – and the network is rapidly expanding in size! Find out more in one of my biggest explainers yet!

Special thanks to @railpluskr for some of the amazing footage used in this video!
Nice content 👍
I dunno if you'd want to do a video on it but the city I live in of Wellington, New Zealand has some pretty decent public transport for a western (especially New Zealand) city. Full of extremely disconnected suburbs and only around 410,000 people in the entire region
Here in the United States we can only dream of a system like that!😭😭😭😭
I was on vacation in Seoul eight years ago and I went everywhere on the Subway. There was not one destination in the greater Seoul area that wasn't within walking distance of a station. Best Subway system I've ever used (and I'm from the NYC area).
You should really do a video on Osaka. Sure it's in the same country as Tokyo, but that doesn't take away the fact that it has a massive efficient system with various modes of travel. Depending on how you count "urban rail", it has the 2nd largest ridership in the world for the metropolitan area, behind Tokyo.
Seoul metro is kinda underrated compared to Tokyo. I prefer Seoul because you don't need to go out from one operator to another operator.
Most of Seoul metro have a lot of exits, sometimes more than 10. When I was there sometimes I kinda use the metro's walkway as a shortcut to go to another place. Some of them are integrated with malls or even have their own mall.
T-Money is quite convenient and if you use different types of public transportation (bus to train or vice versa) you'll get a discount on the next one (dunno if it is still there). You can also use your smartphone (with NFC) as your T-Money, and they also sell T-Money in other forms like keychain IIRC.
Subways offer great protection in case of war. We should only invest in subways.
Hey, I really enjoyed the style you covered the transit of the whole of seol in this video. A similar style on the whole of viennas transit, or the bits you didn't cover previously, would be fantastic
Omg perfect timing I’ll be there in 3 days 😂
Could you do a video on the Brussels metro?
Wow, you did a phenomenal job putting all these pieces of information together! Most Koreans wouldn't even know about most of these facts. Thank you for featuring my hometown!
Lived in Seoul from 2015-2017 and the metro station was one of the things that convinced me just how much a well funded modern metro system could be to a city.
Hola
The first time I thought about Seoul's transit system was when I was 7, and I watched the "Oppan Gangnam Style" music video and I thought, "wow, that subway looks really nice!"
Suin-Bundang line will also Have KTX service in 2025
Gyeongchun Line will also have KTX service in 2027
If you liked learning about these projects, I would suggest searching for "Kojects" – their YouTube channel hasn't been updated in a while, but their website contains to carry great content on a variety of transit projects throughout Korea 🙂
Excellent video! Your pronunciation is very good too. Be aware, though, that "eo" is pronounced "uh" in Korean. So Suseo is pronounced SOO suh, not soo SAY oh.
Those busways, my goodness. I thought I was congested when I had the flu last month, but that was nothing!
You mentioned Songdo station on the korail line of Suin line running through Incheon as being named after Songdo, but your information is wrong. The Songdo station is near the original Songdo area which came before the new city, on a line built in 1937. The area, we now refer to as Songdo, is actually the new city, named after the older area.
