SubwayMate: Seoul Metro

Navigate Seoul and the capital-area rail network with confidence—even if you do not read Korean.

SubwayMate is an independent, account-free subway companion built for international visitors. The app follows your device language in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese while keeping Korean station names and station numbers visible so you can match signs inside the station.

PLAN WITH A CLEAR MAP • Search by station name, station number, or landmark • Choose an origin, optional via station, and destination • Compare travel time and transfers • See the selected route highlighted on an original schematic map • View official timetable-based times or clearly labeled estimates

ARRIVE PREPARED • Check outdoor weather around supported destination stations • See destination-area crowding where Seoul public data is available • Review transfer and train schedule details before you travel

KNOW WHEN TO GET OFF Start a journey to receive an optional local reminder one station before your stop. Location is optional and processed on your device; manual station selection always works. Notifications are optional.

No account or login is required. Public-data sources and attribution are available in Settings. SubwayMate is not affiliated with Seoul Metro or any rail operator. Coverage and real-time availability vary by operator and are labeled in the app.
