Seoul Subway

The whole Seoul Metropolitan Subway in one app — Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi. Live train arrivals, real published timetables, express trains and the fastest route, on a map that shows where the stations actually are.

■ Live train arrivals
See how far away your train is right now: how many minutes, how many stops. The count updates while you watch. No more looking up at the platform board.

■ Real timetables, not averages
Departure times come from the official published timetables, not from an average gap between trains. You get the actual train at the actual minute, plus the first and last train of the day.

■ Fast routes
Enter where you are and where you are going. Three routes come back side by side:
· Fastest
· Fewest transfers
· Least walking
Each one shows the departure time, the arrival time, the total journey time and the number of transfers.

■ Express trains marked clearly
Express and all-stop trains are shown separately, and the app tells you which one gets you there first. Line 1 express, Line 9 express and the Suin-Bundang express are all included.

■ A geographically true subway map
Not a straightened diagram. Every station sits where it really is, so you can see the Han River, and see how far apart two stations truly are. Pinch to zoom smoothly, from the whole region down to one street.

■ Live journey guidance
Pick a route and start the journey. The app keeps telling you the next station, how many stops are left, and where to change. You will not miss your stop on a line you do not know.

■ Works with no internet
The map, the stations and the timetables are stored on your phone. Route planning and timetables keep working on an underground platform with no signal. Only live train positions need a connection.

■ 17 languages
한국어, English, 中文, 日本語, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, Oʻzbekcha, Filipino, Русский, नेपाली, ខ្មែរ, Bahasa Indonesia, Монгол, မြန်မာ, বাংলা, සිංහල, Қазақша.
Station names can be set to Korean or English, separately from the app language. Read the app in your own language and keep station names in Hangul, so they match the signs on the platform.

■ Coverage
657 stations, 24 lines, across Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi.
Lines 1 to 9, Sinbundang (신분당선), Suin-Bundang (수인·분당선), Gyeongui-Jungang (경의·중앙선), Gyeongchun, Gyeonggang, Seohae, AREX Airport Railroad (인천국제공항철도), Ui-Sinseol, Sillim, Gimpo Goldline, Incheon Lines 1 and 2, Uijeongbu LRT, Yongin Everline and GTX-A.

■ No sign-in
No account, no name, no phone number. Your saved routes and settings stay on your phone and are never sent anywhere. The app does not ask for location permission.

■ Data sources
Built on public open data from the Seoul Open Data Plaza, the Korea National Railway (국가철도공단) and Incheon Transit Corporation.

Some journey times are estimated from the distance between stations, and the app says so where that is true. A few operators outside Seoul do not publish live train positions, so those stations show timetable times only.
