[Korea] Path opens between Seoul Metro & Airport Railroad for faster transit

An underground transit pathway connecting the Airport Railroad platform (Basement Level 3) with Seoul Subway Line 1 and Line 4 platforms (Basement Level 1) at Seoul Station began operations in March, 2015.

Before the transit path existed, Airport Railroad (AREX) passengers transferring at Seoul Station to Subway Line 1 or 4 had to come out of the train platform on basement level 3, pass through the waiting area of Seoul Station on level 2, and then back down to basement level 1 for the subway. This maze-like transit pathway caused many travelers’ inconvenience.

The new pathway, now providing a direct connection between the subway platforms, saves passengers 7 minutes, cutting the transit time down to just 5 minutes. Passengers with luggage will be happy to know the traveling distance is now shorted from 700 meters to just 300 meters. Plus, the transit passage has moving walks, escalators, elevators and convenience stores. The new transit path also allows passengers to transfer with single journey tickets which was not possible when transferring from AREX to subway lines in the past.

Those who use general transportation cards will get a transfer discount only when going through the new transit passage. Separate fares will be charged to the card when using the previous path through Seoul Station.
