Seoul, Incheon & surrounding areas
The connected metro and commuter-rail network around Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi, including services into neighbouring provinces.
Select a station above to find links for the operator that runs its line.
GTX-A: check current service sections with the operator. The station list does not imply a through-service between all stops. AREX Express is a separate ticketed product.
02
Busan, Gimhae & Ulsan
Busan Lines 1–4, Busan–Gimhae Light Rail and the Donghae commuter line towards Ulsan.
Find the station and lineSearch the Korean or English name above. Open the official map, select your starting station and destination, then check transfers and the exit nearest your accommodation.
Prepare a transit card or ticketA rechargeable Tmoney or EZL card is useful for several rides. For a single trip, use the station’s ticket machine and choose its English menu when available. Check the ticket’s area of validity.
Enter with your ticketTap a transit card on the reader. A QR ticket uses the QR scanner instead. Follow the markings on your gate, and keep the same ticket until you leave the destination station.
Confirm the direction before boardingMatch the platform’s next station and train destination to your route. The same line can have branches or trains that finish early. An express train may pass your stop.
Follow transfer signsStay inside the paid area and follow the next line’s name, number and colour. Some connections have transfer gates or additional fares. Ask staff before leaving through an exit gate if unsure.
Leave through the correct exitTap or scan at the exit gate as instructed. If the gate will not open, use the help button or ask staff. Check the numbered street exit before going upstairs; large stations can have long walks between exits.
Buy a supported transit card, add credit and tap that card at the gates. Do not assume that tapping an overseas Visa or Mastercard directly will work. Top-up methods vary; carry some Korean won for machines or stores that require cash.
Since 17 March 2026, new machines at 273 stations on Seoul Metro Lines 1–8 accept international cards for single-journey tickets and specified short-term Climate Card purchases or top-ups. A service fee applies. This does not mean every Korean ticket machine or every transit-card top-up accepts overseas cards. Check the machine’s payment screen.
Fares depend on the region, distance, passenger category and service. Bus-to-rail discounts require the local transfer conditions, including use of the same eligible card. A city day pass is not a nationwide rail pass. Shinbundang, GTX-A and separately ticketed airport trains have their own conditions.
For children, ask the seller or station staff about age eligibility and card registration before the first journey. Keep single-journey tickets until exit and follow any deposit-return instructions printed on the machine.
Connecting from the airport
Incheon & Gimpo airports
AREX All-Stop trains connect Incheon Airport terminals, Gimpo Airport and Seoul Station, with intermediate stops and transfers. AREX Express is a different service with a separate ticket. Confirm your arrival terminal, intended stop and last departure before choosing.
Use Airport station on Busan–Gimhae Light Rail. Sasang connects with Busan Line 2 and Daejeo with Line 3. Check the full journey to your hotel, including the final walk and transfer fare.
For stations matched to the Seoul TOPIS feed, open the station card and press “Check arrivals”. We show only recent records for that station and line, with their source time in Korea Standard Time. Availability varies even on the same line; the Seoul feed does not cover every station outside Seoul.
Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju and other unsupported services use their official maps and timetables here. A timetable is a scheduled departure, not a live estimate. No recent result can mean a delay in the data, limited coverage or no available record; it does not confirm a service suspension.
Check the platform display before boarding. Never rely on an old “arriving” message; refresh the result. For the last train, check the operator’s timetable for the date, direction and final destination as well.
For heavy bags, a stroller or wheelchair access, check the station’s lift locations and accessible route before travelling. An entrance shown on a street map may only have stairs. Use the gate help button or show staff your destination written in Korean.
This directory combines the national KRIC station workbook downloaded on 26 September 2026 (file dated 30 June 2026) with the Seoul arrival-station workbook dated 2 September 2026. Individual operator records have different reference dates.
Includes metro, light rail and connected commuter services in five regional groups. GTX-A and shared-track station entries are supplemented from the Seoul file.
Counts refer to station–line entries, not distinct physical stations. Station lists are alphabetical, not a connected route or stopping pattern.
Infrastructure line names are grouped under passenger-facing lines. Source spellings and older station names may differ from today’s signs; check the Korean name and operator map.
Excludes planned lines, intercity KTX/SRT services and the separately listed airport maglev. New stations and renamed stops may need another update.
