Seoul Metro Launches "Visible Information Broadcasting Service"! Don't be afraid to sit on headphone

There has been an increase in the number of citizens using smartphones and headphones, and if you miss the in-car announcement, you may have to pass through the station where you get off the train, but this inconvenience may be reduced.

Last September, the public company conducted a survey of 839 metro users and found that 72% of respondents had passed by stations because they could not recognize in-car announcements. When asked if they would use the app if it offered arrival guidance, 82% of respondents said they would use it.

The "Visible Information Broadcasting Service" uses the location information technology of smartphones (Beaconsand provide information such as current location, driving directions, arrival stations, and congestion levels through the "Metro Re-Pickup" app. In particular, even when using a smartphone, it is possible to view the current location and arrival station information in a separate pop-up window by setting "Show on top of other apps".

The public corporation will test the system on Line 2, and after collecting opinions in July, it will be extended to all lines of Seoul Subway Line 1~8 by the end of this year.
