The worst for crowding, inaccessability, being dirty, too much walking required to transfer, or anything else that makes some stations a nightmare to pass through.

I will vote first. Chungmuro by and far has got to be the worst.

Shingil takes forever to change lines and you have to walk by a lot of garbage they try to sell...

Most of the line 1 stations from Anyang to Shindorim don't look very nice overall.

I would sat Jungangro in Daegu.
You would be a bit freaked out going there after what happened before. I heard it is all shiny and new now though

I hate Seongsu... not because of poor access, but because they always seem to make me stop and switch trains there. ugh!

Shindorim (where the lines out to Suwon and Inchon merge into one and connect to the green line) has always bothered me intensely, even after the renovations.

I think it is definitely Gyo Dae, Seoul National University of Education. When changing from the green to the orange line, traffic is at a virtual stand still because of so many people during rush hour.

What's wrong with it? I never had a problem.

Seoul National University of Education does suck. I hate Chungmuro mostly because of the bad set up, misleading signs, and it is too small. I'd rather they had made it bigger with more walking involved in order to transfer.

Anyone know Sindang? I got really lost in their one day, and the maps are very misleading.

Worst subway station = Sindorim

Hands down. Try going through there on a Sunday afternoon or a weekday morning.

ive been to all the stations you guys have listed except the one in Daegu.
but know one put.. SEOUL STATION! that has got to be the biggest s h i t hole out here.. I mean the amount of homeless people living down really lets you see.. its a rat race out there.. and while the seoul mayor is getting millions richer by the year, just 200metres away.. there are people living in those conditions down there.. its an aweful site.. I never want to go there again acually...

One thing for sure; we can't agree on the worst! How about the best?

The best i think is Sasang in west Busan. So easy to connect to any bus from there.

Noksapyeong is spacious and clean/new looking, but it takes forever to get up and down. Not bad. I find Jongno 3 ga to be pretty ok, especially considering how many people poass through it. Those horizontal escalators are nice when your legs are tired.

I still say Chungmuro is the worst. Anyone else hate that place?

Nokcheon. I lived next to this pile of filth for a year. And when I say pile of filth, I mean that literally. It's right next to a landfill.
