Anywhere on the National Railway line, I'm at Hwaegi, and it sometimes takes 25 minutes to wait for a train. Also, the stations on EITHER side are BOTH called Chongnyangni, so that's really helpful ain't it! Rolling Eyes

I hate going through Gangnam and Sadang because of the unbearable crowds. I'm sure they exist elsewhere but those are the bad nodes that I go through regularly.

Hoegi or anything on the National Railway Line in Seoul. They all suck.

The one that doesn't come to the island. Surprised Seriously though, the subway in Busan is pretty good compared to the ones I've taken in America and Canada: the worst I can say is the stairway musicians aren't as good here and the vendors can get in the way during rush hour, especially at an exit to Nampodong.

I dislike Yeongdeungpo-gu Office. Very crowded. Even for a transfer station.

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.


Living in Bucheon, and with g/friend living/working on line #2, i had to transfer through this station all the time. I personally like Sindorim. It is a pretty short distance between the two lines and its always bustling, fun to watch the crowds when waiting for someone.

Sadang might be a zoo, but at least its a short walk to transfer and relatively clean.

Singil sucks, for the reasons someone else stated. One extra reason is if you are on line #5 and your final stop in Singil, its a hell of a long way to the main exit.

Gangnam station definitly blows. Its always busy and packed.


As for worst, I'd have to agree with Chungmaro.

Once they ever get round to starting/finishing line 9 then hopefully things will get better - there will be a new Gangnam stop around the vicinity of the Kyobo bookstore.
Right now the station is ridiculously crowded, it's the busiest station on the whole system too (177,406 passengers per day, apparently).

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.


yeah, this is hell!

cheonho station is a good station the transfer is really easy.


The worst is (I think) cheongjungno (line 2 and line 5) which has the worst transfer ever where you have to walk forever including up a hill.

I also cast my vote for Gangnam as the worst, because for me, it's the Bermuda Triangle of subway stations. I can never find the right exit without having to try every single one. I have this theory that the exits actually shift around periodically, like the rooms in "The Cube".
