It's crazy how much is being constructed, added, and improved every single year. In most other cities the metro systems stagnate for years and new lines take ages to finish. The Seoul metro is truly worthy for a city of 25 million.
Yes, very true. But not only that, they have to shelter as many people from any North Korean missiles. I see this more as a national importance and a defensive measure
But the big problem in Korea is that most people think it's not a city unless there's a subway station nearby. This is a very bad problem. The reason why this is unfair is that the subway system in Korea is owned by the state, so subway construction requires government approval. But where I live in Pocheon, there is no subway. Even though it's a city And even it is included in the Seoul metropolitan area. Additionally, Pocheon City's subway construction project was canceled. So, Pocheon is the most underdeveloped area in Gyeonggi -do. I didn't see it, but the subway will be built in 2029. However, the original plan was for the subway to be available in 2027.
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for the work. For those wondering, there are quite a few other lines planned. I guess they're not being included here because they are not confirmed yet, but here is a further breakdown: - Wirye Line, currently under construction in South East Seoul. Will open in 2025 and is part of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, but is actually a tramway (hence why it was probably not included) - Sillim Line is expected to be extended one station North to connect with the Seobu Line in Yeouido. There are also plans for a separate branch to the South West called the Nangok Branch Line - Line 3 will be extended in the South East to connect with Line 5 in the city of Hanam - Line 8 is expected to be expended further to the North East, eventually to either Line 4 (probably) or even Line 1 in Uijeongbu (less likely). There are also plans to extend Line 8 further to the South to Pangyo - Line 9 trains will start track sharing with AREX on limited service to Incheon Airport, starting around 2027 - There are proposals for the Shinbundang Line to be expended farther to the North West past Yongsan Station, up to Samsong Station on Line 3 - Incheon Line 2 will be extended to the North, with a new branch connecting with Incheon Line 1, and eventually with Gimpo Goldline and even crossing the Han River - The Sinansan Line is also expected to have a second phase, ultimately extending the Line with Yeouido to Seoul Station - The Seobu Line will in the future probably extend further to the North East to the city of Goyang. A further expansion by 1 station to the middle of SNU Campus is also in consideration - A new line between Daejang (GTX D) and Hongdae (Line 2, AREX) has also been approved - Line 5 will be further extended to the West, on an alignment close to that of the Gimpo Goldline - The Gyeongbukhoengdan Line is an LRT line proposed in Seoul, which would form roughly a semi-circle in the North part of the city - The Mokdong Line is an LRT line proposed in Seoul, in the South-West of the city - The Myeonmok Line is an LRT line proposed in Seoul, in the North-East of the city - The Ui LRT is proposed to be extended by a new branch connecting with Banhak Station on Line 1 - GTX D will very likely become a longer line, probably being somewhat parallel to Line 9 in the South part of the city - GTX E and F are also in planning, with the alignment expected to be announced soon The proposals above have fairly good chances of being built, but there are many other proposals which are less likely and which are still early in their planning. These includes Suwon Line 1 (tram), Dongtan Line 1 and Dongtan Line 2, Seongnam Line 1, Gwacheon-Wirye Line, Singuro Line, a bunch of small tram-like lines in Incheon, Suin-Bundang Line extension to Osan, as well as other extensions to the following lines: Line 3, Shinbundang Line, Line 6, Line 8, Everline, Incheon Line 1, Incheon Line 2, Wirye-Sinsa Line... And I'm probably forgetting some more.
Part One was really good. And Part Two is even more interesting. I like how the lines extend much further as Seoul is seeing more people and the population growing. Just like other capital cities across the world.
Sinasan Line is also planned to extend from Yeouido to Seoul Station. Shinbundang Line is also planned to extend from Yongsan to Seoul Station then to Samsong, Goyang Province partly sharing tracks with GTX-A. The latest iteration of Western Metropolitan Express (GTX-D) will be an X-shaped line, with another branch going to ICN airport and passing through Gangnam with a stop at Samseong connected with GTX-A, C and Wirye-Sinsa line. Samseong is planned to become a massive transport hub below ground with multiple levels and platforms.
There is a possibility that Line 9 and AREX will be merged (probably in 2027). It is already connected directly from Gimpo Airport Station, and in theory, it is already possible to pass through, except for train system problems. Recently, the relevant local governments have reached an agreement on the budget issue and are likely to start working soon.
Is this the alternative to GTX-D? Because GTX-D is planned to link ICN airport and Gangnam as Seoul's 2nd airport express service because at present there is no direct connection between the two considering Gangnam is the second business district of Seoul. Will it be possible for Line 9 to offer "through service" or "through running" with AREX? Through service or through running is commonly done in Tokyo. There are passing loops in Line 9 stations but problem is there are no separate platforms for the airport service.
@@lawrencebautista1noSince the currents are not compatible with each other, thenLine 9 uses 1500v, but AREX uses 25000v alternating current, but there is no money to build that train.
10:58 One fact that this video has missed is that Samseong Station of GTX-A will be built as being possible to Bongeunsa Station of Line No. 9. 이 영상에서 빠뜨린 게 있다면, GTX-A의 삼성역은 9호선의 봉은사역과 환승이 가능하게 지어진다고 합니다.
I'm really excited about the GTX project. It's a crossing suburban network like the Crossrail in London or the RER in Paris, but with very few stops and high speed between them. It's some kind of merge between crossing suburban train and high-speed line, whoes is quite unique in the world. :)

The Incheon Maglev Train will be reopened as a 'track facility' rather than an 'urban railway' and will be categorized as a tourist facility instead of public transportation. This is to reduce costs through less strict regulations and reduced frequency and operating hours.
@@bamnuni_67 There are a lot of plans already but just do not know when those are served. In terms of long periods, there is possibility that shinbundang line extends to hyangnam, daejang-hongik univ. line opens, GTX-B~H opens, CTX(Express train connecting Seoul and Chungcheong-do) opens, etc. The problem is that economic benefit compared plans' cost is reducing in real time due to low reproduction of Korea.

8:39 Yongin station can transfer to guseong station And maybe in 2025, Yongin Everline Giheung-Gwanggyo Central Station will be extended and Dongbaek-Sinbong Line will be opened
Seoul itself is over 25 million people, and it’s already filled with tons of metro stations, the metropolitan area out of Seoul isn’t really that much populated. Most are countrysides. The map is bigger than it looks, and the entire Seoul’s size is only 5% of the map
Seoul never stopped building. Which means they also kept the expertise and the equipment and improved on it. In the US after they finish a project, they just stop, then scrap everything used for the previous project.
I watched the video well, but there is an error in the part after 2023. 9:149:56 The Sinansan Line (Yeouido-Hanyang University ERICA Campus, Gwangmyeong-Wonsi) will open simultaneously in April 2025. There has been no news so far that it will open separately in April 2025 and July 2026, respectively, from the time of construction. 11:14 The Dongtan Indeokwon Line (Indeokwon-Dongtan, Seodongtan-Dongtan) Seodongtan section will open simultaneously with the Dongtan Indeokwon Line as it is finally confirmed that the section will open as Line 1 on October 12, 2023
Is Sinasan line plan to extend to Seoul Station push through? I wonder if there is still space for an underground platform if the area around Seoul Station is already congested; there are underground platforms for AREX, GTX-A and B, Lines 1 and 4, and even the Shinbundang Line is also planned to extend beyond Yongsan Station, passing through Seoul Station and terminating at Samsong, Goyang province. Unless the platforms will be above ground or elevated?
@@lawrencebautista1 The Sinansan Line is already tentatively scheduled for the second phase between Yeouido and Seoul Station from the start of the soon-to-open section. However, if the project is to proceed at this point, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance will pass the feasibility study first. There were similar plans since the 1990s, so it is likely to pass. First of all, the location of Seoul Station on the Sinansan Line is planned as an underground station near Seoullo 7017 next to the old station of the train Seoul Station
This was excellent. Now do Tokyo, and i mean, really do Tokyo. Not just the subways, but all the metro services from JR, Tokyu, Keio, Keisei, TOEI, Odakyu, Sobu and the other random services operating around Tokyo. Might also have to include Yokohama, Chiba and Omiya for good measure.
This will be a massive feat. There are more than a hundred lines in Tokyo Metropolitan Area counting the dozens of private railway operators and also the numerous through running services with other lines that can be counted as separate lines.
Another great video, I loved seeing Seoul get its fair share of recognition, and I will love to see what video you will come up with next! Now then… 8:15 nine days to go ❗️❗️❗️Whoop whoop. Ahem. Last month it was announced that the station name for Choseongri will be Cheongsan instead. 8:25 Most likely impossible. The station is undergoing construction alright, if you can call installing some basic structures and stopping there while designing the rest of the station ‘undergoing construction’. Most sources predict a 2026 opening. 8:34 GTX-A might open in March. Also, Yongin station hasn’t quite finished its construction yet and won’t be open until June. 9:13 If my understanding is correct, Sinansan line will open its branch towards Wonsi(or int’l theme park?) on April 2025 as well. Why they don’t just go ahead and open it all the way to Seohwaseongnamyang is unknown to me. And to say that the section towards Hyangnam is undergoing construction is… well, maybe not 100% accurate. The railway is under construction, but it’s not for the Sinansan line, but rather the regional Seohae line. Extension to hyangnam will require a few more additions (such as extra rail at Hyangnam so that the train can turn and return to base), which isn’t even undergoing design. 11:17 some say that the current plan is to open by 2029. But more importantly, in recent months it was said (but I haven’t seen any big articles about it) that Indeogwon-Dongtan will NOT have the Seodongtan branch, and that instead line 1 will he extending to Dongtan. Now for some extra notes: 1. You left out the Wirye line, which of course should not be included because it is a tram line. But it is the first commuter tram line in Seoul in OVER 60 YEARS should it open in 2025 as planned. 2. I’ll be damned if Wirye-Sinsa opens by 2028, GTX-C by 2028, Seobu by 2029 and Pungyang station by 2026. 3. Gyeongui-Jungang line also has Hyangdong (near where Changneung will be) planned as an infill. Idk when they will even start constructing that one though. Also planned are Hoecheonjungang on line 1 (between Deogye and Deokjeong) and Punggi between Onyangoncheon and Baebang. That is all. Great video once again!
Hey. I saw your videos about Seoul and Busan on an korean channel. Everything in those videos is in korean and I'm just wondering if u coorporated with that guy.
At some point it might be worth renaming all these lines into a more consistent system. Bundang line, Shin-Bundang line and Suin-Bundang line are my favourites for confusion.
I know you get plenty of requests but one system that might make an interesting video is Tehran. They started in 1999 and have expanded rapidly since then
How is Seoul building new stations and lines literally every month while Taipei built only 2 lines in 8 years? Both are from countries with a similar wealth (gdp per capita around $30,000-$35,000) both are democracies, share similar cultures, corruption rates are similar too, and Seoul has 25 million people while Taipei has 10 million people.
First of all, even at this point in time, the difference between basic construction and construction capacity and speed, and overall competitiveness and technology in the railway sector is much greater than expected, unlike the very superficial economic indicators and corruption perception index you know. Apart from simply the difference between the size of the population and the proportional size of the economy between the two countries
Taiwan still orders and operates Hyundai Rotem's new train even after the 2020s, and the linear construction of their railway tracks is also left to the outside nation (mainly Japanese companies), and the slow speed of the construction itself is incomparable to that of the Korean railway. In the case of Korea, however, more than 30 years have passed since they have already achieved their own localization, including the speed of construction and the linear level (until the early and mid-90s)
I have a request. Could you please do the Athens metro? No other channels have done it and I feel that you would do a great job showing it’s history and future expansions. Thank you!
You should do Manila next. I want to see the first two LRT (Light Rail Transit) lineups and the famous MRT (Metro Rail Transit). And of course, the future of LRT and MRT buildings and transits (including the first subway ever built in the Philippines) Spread loves, Metro Liner.

What I don't understand tho is how these Koreans still has one of the longest daily commuter time among OECD nationas, despite having these state-of-the-art public transportation networks...
It takes more than one hour to get to Seoul from Bedtown area, where many office workers live in other areas outside of Seoul. Also to get to and from Seoul, which a huge traffic jam is much more serious than that in the video. Coincidentally, because of the large number of their own and for business use vehicles that exist in that small territory, the country is still not fully out of the a car-central society
Strong public transportation is both a blessing and a curse. It is unusual, but there are cases where people go to work without a car for 200 kilometers on public transportation. It costs about 10 dollars by using the high-speed rail…
Seoul Metro: expansion into North Korea in 2060 (Doubt the North can manage to pass the power down to one more generation. China does not mind an unified Korea as long as US troops off the Korean soils after reunification)
@modularsolarid2000 It already surpassed London, Paris, and New York in terms of Quality, extensiveness, and affordability. Quality is similar, some say that the Seoul Metro is overwhelmingly better because you can experience the quality of the Tokyo Metro while paying less than half the price of the Tokyo metro. But there’s no way that any metro system can become extensive as the greater Tokyo area railway before 2050. But if any metro system were to become as extensive Tokyo, and surpass it, Seoul would definitely, surely, without a doubt, be the first one to do so.

Seoul itself is over 25 million people, and it’s already filled with tons of metro stations, the metropolitan area out of Seoul isn’t really that much populated. Most are countrysides. The map is bigger than it looks, and the entire Seoul’s size is only 5% of the map
@@CheolssipYou are wrong. In Seoul live aprox. 10 mln people, NOT "over 25 mln" - you write about metropolitan region, NOT only central city (Seoul).
@@pieterwatson611 oh
the video is brilliant. what software do you use for producing it?
It's very exact! Thank you to make history of Seoul Metropolitan Subway!
Meanwhile New York takes half a century to extend one line a couple blocks
Seoul never stopped building. Which means they also kept the expertise and the equipment and improved on it.
In the US after they finish a project, they just stop, then scrap everything used for the previous project.
@@ianhomerpura8937 I see, I hope North American transit planners start taking notes from cities like Seoul.

I watched the video well, but there is an error in the part after 2023.
9:14 9:56 The Sinansan Line (Yeouido-Hanyang University ERICA Campus, Gwangmyeong-Wonsi) will open simultaneously in April 2025. There has been no news so far that it will open separately in April 2025 and July 2026, respectively, from the time of construction.
11:14 The Dongtan Indeokwon Line (Indeokwon-Dongtan, Seodongtan-Dongtan) Seodongtan section will open simultaneously with the Dongtan Indeokwon Line as it is finally confirmed that the section will open as Line 1 on October 12, 2023
Is Sinasan line plan to extend to Seoul Station push through? I wonder if there is still space for an underground platform if the area around Seoul Station is already congested; there are underground platforms for AREX, GTX-A and B, Lines 1 and 4, and even the Shinbundang Line is also planned to extend beyond Yongsan Station, passing through Seoul Station and terminating at Samsong, Goyang province. Unless the platforms will be above ground or elevated?
@@lawrencebautista1 The Sinansan Line is already tentatively scheduled for the second phase between Yeouido and Seoul Station from the start of the soon-to-open section. However, if the project is to proceed at this point, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance will pass the feasibility study first. There were similar plans since the 1990s, so it is likely to pass. First of all, the location of Seoul Station on the Sinansan Line is planned as an underground station near Seoullo 7017 next to the old station of the train Seoul Station
Niezły z ciebie gej, haha
This was excellent. Now do Tokyo, and i mean, really do Tokyo. Not just the subways, but all the metro services from JR, Tokyu, Keio, Keisei, TOEI, Odakyu, Sobu and the other random services operating around Tokyo. Might also have to include Yokohama, Chiba and Omiya for good measure.
This will be a massive feat. There are more than a hundred lines in Tokyo Metropolitan Area counting the dozens of private railway operators and also the numerous through running services with other lines that can be counted as separate lines.
It might be 1 hour over
you do it
Another great video, I loved seeing Seoul get its fair share of recognition, and I will love to see what video you will come up with next! Now then…
8:15 nine days to go ❗️❗️❗️Whoop whoop.
Ahem. Last month it was announced that the station name for Choseongri will be Cheongsan instead.
8:25 Most likely impossible. The station is undergoing construction alright, if you can call installing some basic structures and stopping there while designing the rest of the station ‘undergoing construction’. Most sources predict a 2026 opening.
8:34 GTX-A might open in March. Also, Yongin station hasn’t quite finished its construction yet and won’t be open until June.
9:13 If my understanding is correct, Sinansan line will open its branch towards Wonsi(or int’l theme park?) on April 2025 as well. Why they don’t just go ahead and open it all the way to Seohwaseongnamyang is unknown to me. And to say that the section towards Hyangnam is undergoing construction is… well, maybe not 100% accurate. The railway is under construction, but it’s not for the Sinansan line, but rather the regional Seohae line. Extension to hyangnam will require a few more additions (such as extra rail at Hyangnam so that the train can turn and return to base), which isn’t even undergoing design.
11:17 some say that the current plan is to open by 2029. But more importantly, in recent months it was said (but I haven’t seen any big articles about it) that Indeogwon-Dongtan will NOT have the Seodongtan branch, and that instead line 1 will he extending to Dongtan.
Now for some extra notes:
1. You left out the Wirye line, which of course should not be included because it is a tram line. But it is the first commuter tram line in Seoul in OVER 60 YEARS should it open in 2025 as planned.
2. I’ll be damned if Wirye-Sinsa opens by 2028, GTX-C by 2028, Seobu by 2029 and Pungyang station by 2026.
3. Gyeongui-Jungang line also has Hyangdong (near where Changneung will be) planned as an infill. Idk when they will even start constructing that one though.
Also planned are Hoecheonjungang on line 1 (between Deogye and Deokjeong) and Punggi between Onyangoncheon and Baebang.
That is all. Great video once again!

Not every line is a metro. E.g. line number 1 is actually SUBURBAN line, NOT city (metro) line.
Only 3% of it is an actual metro line💀

Mindblowing.
But whoever came up with "Shinbundang line" and "Suin-Bundang line" as names deserves a demotion.
At some point it might be worth renaming all these lines into a more consistent system.
Bundang line, Shin-Bundang line and Suin-Bundang line are my favourites for confusion.

How is Seoul building new stations and lines literally every month while Taipei built only 2 lines in 8 years? Both are from countries with a similar wealth (gdp per capita around $30,000-$35,000) both are democracies, share similar cultures, corruption rates are similar too, and Seoul has 25 million people while Taipei has 10 million people.
First of all, even at this point in time, the difference between basic construction and construction capacity and speed, and overall competitiveness and technology in the railway sector is much greater than expected, unlike the very superficial economic indicators and corruption perception index you know. Apart from simply the difference between the size of the population and the proportional size of the economy between the two countries
Taiwan still orders and operates Hyundai Rotem's new train even after the 2020s, and the linear construction of their railway tracks is also left to the outside nation (mainly Japanese companies), and the slow speed of the construction itself is incomparable to that of the Korean railway. In the case of Korea, however, more than 30 years have passed since they have already achieved their own localization, including the speed of construction and the linear level (until the early and mid-90s)

ok, so I know the big line problem, south korea north korea war 😔,
What I don't understand tho is how these Koreans still has one of the longest daily commuter time among OECD nationas, despite having these state-of-the-art public transportation networks...
It takes more than one hour to get to Seoul from Bedtown area, where many office workers live in other areas outside of Seoul. Also to get to and from Seoul, which a huge traffic jam is much more serious than that in the video. Coincidentally, because of the large number of their own and for business use vehicles that exist in that small territory, the country is still not fully out of the a car-central society
Well, faster transit just means you can commute from greater distances...
모든 직장은 서울에 집중되어 있지만, 비싼 부동산 때문에 모든 사람이 서울에 살 수는 없다. 그렇기 때문에 비교적 저렴한 인근의 경기도와 인천으로 밀려난 사람들이 서울로 출퇴근을 하니까 오래 걸림
Maybe that's the reason for the planned GTX lines.
Strong public transportation is both a blessing and a curse.
It is unusual, but there are cases where people go to work without a car for 200 kilometers on public transportation. It costs about 10 dollars by using the high-speed rail…

Can you do Porto please? Thanks
Porto has TRAM system, not metro, despite of wrong name.
Very Complicated so it is comparable to the cities such like Tokyo, New York, Paris,London.
It's already surpassed tokyo
@modularsolarid2000 It already surpassed London, Paris, and New York in terms of Quality, extensiveness, and affordability.
Quality is similar, some say that the Seoul Metro is overwhelmingly better because you can experience the quality of the Tokyo Metro while paying less than half the price of the Tokyo metro.
But there’s no way that any metro system can become extensive as the greater Tokyo area railway before 2050.
But if any metro system were to become as extensive Tokyo, and surpass it, Seoul would definitely, surely, without a doubt, be the first one to do so.
@modularsolarid2000 Ok then give Seoul about 50 years and other metros about 200 years then they'll catch up probably¯\_(ツ)_/¯
