Seoul is heavily populated, that means that there are people going somewhere everywhere you look! Some people prefer to just walk around with their own two feet as a means of transportation. Some prefer to wave down a taxi or hop on the next bus. However, the easiest method of travel is the subway system, the Seoul Metro. Seoul Metro has subway trains that are hardly ever late. All of the signs on the train and in the station are in English as well as Korean to make the system foreigner-friendly. The only thing you need to board the train is a Transportation Card or T-Card for short.
