Hello everyone,

Not sure if someone posted this already, but I couldn't find it in the waygook search engine.

I came across Cyber Station when I was reading an EPIK (or Incheon MOE) introduction book to Incheon.  The previous EPIK teacher must have left it for me.

Cyber Station allows you to pick your DEPARTING subway station and your ARRIVING subway station.  Like mapquest, it gives you brief directions on the left and a map on the right, showing you the line of path.  There are a few more things you can do with the site but I haven't explored all of them yet.  Enjoy! 

Here's the website:  http://www.smrt.co.kr/Train/Subwaymap/Eng/Subwaymap.jsp

Many phones have a similar application.  Mine is not a smart phone, but if I select Menu -> Organizer -> Subway Line Map I can get a map of all the subways in Korea, and it will also plan routes between stations and tell me how long it will take and how many changes.

I saw something on google about two weeks ago.
It showed all the subway names but in small letters...

I think it was from the official Korean website but in English Mode.

I used to use that site all the time but they recently updated the website and it is now broken (not to mention uglier and less user friendly).
Here is the new link: http://www.smrt.co.kr/program/cyberStation/main2.jsp?lang=e

I use this website all the time! It is brilliant for figuring out how to get somewhere by subway, where to transfer at and how long it will take!  ;D
