点评:Once you get your bearings you'll have no trouble navigating the Seoul metro system. Ideally if you intend to use the metro more than a couple of times I'd highly recommend you purchase a T Money card at 7/11 or GS25 convenience stores. You buy the card at the counter and then load the card up with WON. They can then be topped up on the metro machines you'll see dotted around if required.
Make sure you tap on and off on the turnstiles, the turnstiles will display the total value remaining on your card each trip.
The metro is super clean, comfortable (good air con!) and very cheap compared to London tube anyway. Its a flat fee, no 'zones'.
One thing that is confusing can be the huge number of station exits at some stops so having a good idea of where to exit is helpful. For that I'd recommend the KakaoMap and Kakao Metro apps combined. All station stops are displayed in English too which is very helpful on the screens in the trains.
Some connection (transfer) stations are huge so be prepared for some walking if you are transferring to another metro line (they are colour coded).
翻译:一旦熟悉了环境,你就能轻松驾驭首尔的地铁系统。如果你打算多次乘坐地铁,我强烈建议你在7-11或GS25便利店购买一张T Money卡。在柜台购买卡片后,再往卡中充值韩元即可。日后如有需要,也可以利用遍布各处的地铁充值机为卡片充值。
记得在通过闸机时务必刷卡进出哦。每次乘车时,检票机都会显示您卡片上剩余的余额。
这家地铁系统非常干净、舒适(空调效果超好!),与伦敦地铁相比也便宜得多。票价是统一收费的,没有所谓的“区域划分”。
有一点可能会让人困惑:有些站点的出口数量极多,因此事先弄清楚该从哪个出口出去会很有帮助。在这方面,我推荐同时使用KakaoMap和Kakao Metro这两款应用。所有车站的名称也以英文显示,这在列车上的屏幕上非常有用。
有些换乘站规模很大,因此如果你需要换乘另一条地铁线,请做好步行一段距离的准备(各线路有颜色编码)。
