Subway routes vary depending on departure time, size of luggage, and travel speed of companions, even for the same destination. Enter your departure station and exact destination address into the map app, and compare routes with different numbers of transfers and walking sections instead of just looking at the recommended route.
How to read recommended routes
At the selected transfer station, follow the signs for Line 7 and check the next station and destination on the platform. Line 2 is a circular line, so it is especially important to check the direction at the time of departure.
When looking at the sign at the station, check the line color and number first, and after arriving at the platform, be sure to check the next station and destination one more time. Even on the same route, if you take a train in the opposite direction, travel time increases significantly.
Points to save time in the field
The area around Konkuk University Station can be crowded with commercial and university districts, and Daerim Station can be crowded with commuters. When meeting people in the aisle or putting away your luggage, stand aside from traffic.
Especially at large transfer stations, it is quicker to stop briefly and check the signs and map app rather than just following the direction people are moving right after getting off. Instead of looking for directions in front of stairs or escalators, move out of the way and check.
In this case, change the path
If you just look at the name of the transfer station and fix it, you can take the opposite direction of your actual destination. Check the day's route and next station each time.
If there are significant on-site variables such as construction, events, rain, or commute times, the usual shortest route may not be the most convenient route. If the last train is close or an appointment time is important, save alternative transfer stations and taxi pick-up locations in advance.
