so, i'm riding the subway just about everyday. it's clean, cheap, environmentally friendly. it's super. i'm a huge fan. the subway runs just about every 5 minutes. we have a subway station about 5 minutes from our apartment--which is great! parking downtown can be quite congested and expensive, so it's nice to just hop on the underground train to get around. daegu only has 2 lines, but it's plenty for me. here's a pic of what they look like here.
this is a picture of a subway station in daegu.
a subway car in daegu. (they are usually NEVER this empty)
i almost always stand while on it usually because there are no seats and also because handicapped, women with children, pregnant women, and elderly (generally people 65+) are given priority for seats. It's common to see younger people offer their seats to elderly when they get on the train.
speaking of elderly, i've realized one of my favorite things is seeing grandpas on bicycles. it just brightens my day. lucky for me, there are lots of grandpas that ride bicycles in daegu. i'm always amazed by them, because many of them look 75 or older!
