Gotta love my route to work every morning via the subway. I have to hand it to Korea. The subway system here is beautiful in every sense of the word. Any public transian from Chicago knows the trials and tribulations of the subway. In Chicago, the subway is a freakin mess. I hate it. It's dirty, smells like piss n' pennies, and we pay way too much to arrive way too late to work. I hope one day Chicago takes the next step into the 21st century with its transportation.
The Korail, or the Korean subway, is quite the opposite. There is never any litter on the ground, the seats aren't wet with God knows what, and it's remarkably cheap to ride (about 80 cents each way). Not only that but there is a schedule telling you when the train arrives, even on holidays.
Anyone that has sat for eons at a time waiting for the blue line to roll through or realize that the brown line is still under construction for the 10th consecutive year should be wiping a single tear from their eye right about now.
