Routes are color-coded and each stop includes information about the previous and the next stop. This makes it easier to figure out which direction your route is going. After successfully using the train for the first time, I became more confident in my process of transferring routes and using the train in general.
I would say public transportation, especially the subway, is connected to culture and the environment. Most people in Seoul are students or adults working in office jobs, and public transporation is an easy and affordable way to get around. A one route trip costs 1250 won, approximately one U.S. dollar, which makes it affordable for everyone. Seoul is a busy city with a ton of people and different vehicles, so public transportation is one of Korea's favorite ways to get around.
