FAQ
- The arrival times are slightly off from what actually happens
- We show the real-time data from Seoul Metro exactly as we receive it, but the source data itself only refreshes every few tens of seconds and shifts with actual train operations. Treat the times shown as a rough guide — the display boards on the platform are always the most accurate.
- Does it cover every line in the greater Seoul area?
- It supports most metro lines in the Seoul capital area, including Lines 1 through 9 and the Gyeongui-Jungang, Airport Railroad, Gyeongchun, Suin-Bundang, Shinbundang, and Ui-Sinseol lines operated or connected by Seoul Metro. That said, arrival data may be missing for some lines or stations depending on what the source data covers.
- For transfer stations that share a name across multiple lines, are results separated by line?
- Yes. For example, searching a station like "Gangnam," which multiple lines pass through, returns results split into separate cards for each line — just check the card for the line you're taking to see its direction and arrival info.
