If two stops are 5 stops apart, how long will it take to commute back and forth? I am just curious about how long things take on line 4?

2 minutes is average. In the 'burbs, sometimes 3 minutes apart.

If you have an iPod Touch there is an application that tells you the time between two stops...including transfers. It's very handy if you're on the go. Also...your phone might do it (I have an LG Icecream and it does) but you need to be able to read Hangul.

But it takes an additional 2-3 minutes to get to the platform, and another 1-5 minutes of waiting for the train. I suggest a motorcycle or scooter, you can make the trip in 3-4 minutes (4 stops), you can terrorize middle aged women and men on the sidewalks, run red lights all while listening to your favorite music.

I have seen 3 motorcycle accidents in the last month though... Confused

The Anycall Haptic has the same feature.
