The Seoul Metropolitan Subway is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world, with well over 8 million trips daily on the system's ten lines (total figures for Seoul Metro, Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation & Korean Railroad commuter lines). The system serves Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi province and northern Chungnam province and connects with the single-line Incheon Subway system. There is a connection (not a free transfer) to the Incheon International Airport Railroad (A'REX) at Gimpo Airport Station on Line 5. Over 70% of the total metro track length is underground.

The Seoul Subway is considered user friendly for non-Koreans since all directional signs are written in both Korean and English, and the voice announcement in the trains indicating the upcoming station, possible line transfer and exiting side are all said in Korean, followed by English. However Line 2 (Green Line) has additional side lines and at times passengers will be told to exit the train and board the following train instead. These broadcasts are in Korean only and therefore do lead to confusion for foreign travelers.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT (530 words)
Nearly 15,000 subway workers were set to go on strike today for higher wages and better conditions but transit authorities said there would be little impact on the six million people who use the underground to get to and from work.
But the Seoul regional Labor Relations Commission's chief, Kim Sung-jung, reportedly said the commission was obliged to submit the dispute to arbitration because the unions did not accept its compromise plan and did not want to negotiate.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the managements of the two transit corporations rebuked the unions' decision, even though the commission ordered them not to go on strike, at least for the time being.
Seoul - definition of Seoul in Encyclopedia (1762 words)
