FAQ

Is it free?

Yes — free, no ads and no sign-up needed (a Nova family account is optional).

Does it work offline?

The map, station search and routes do. Only fares, station facilities (exits, restrooms…) and live arrivals need the internet.

Which regions are included?

The Seoul capital area (24 lines including Lines 1–9, Shinbundang, Gyeongui–Jungang and AREX), Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and Daejeon.

Some routes show no travel time.

Time is calculated only where official speed data exists (Seoul Metro). We don’t show guesses — you’ll see distance and stops instead.

Where do live arrivals work?

In the capital area, from Seoul Open Data via the Nova Family server.
