Can I bring a bike on the seoul metro?

[jajdude]

Yes.

[Harpeau]

It's fine. But like most cities, it might not be a good idea during rush hour.

Thanks! Do I take it to the front or the back, or the wheelchair car, or does it not matter?

[joeyjoejoe]

doesn't really matter where, but the first and last cars are the easiest.
and you might want to think twice if you have to go on the green line, as it's packed at any time of day. early morning or late night are obviously the best times.

Yes I've done this actually. Had to hoist it over the barriers though as there wasn't a wheelchair ticket gate where I got on. No one stopped us (two people two bikes) and we got off at City Hall which is pretty busy but had no hassle. We purposely went to the last carriage as that has a wheelchair space at the back door. No one batted an eyelid.

I have heard though that some busy stations will turn you away. Just cycle on to the next one and try again
