context_page_description: Although each station of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway differs, most share characteristics described in this article. Stations range in size, from tiny local stations to large transportation hubs.
context_section_description: Around one foot from the edge of platform, the floor is marked with a yellow safety line (usually bumped, as described above). Along this line, the locations of each doorway of each carriage are marked with 3 arrows or triangles. The central triangle indicates that disembarking passengers should leave from the center of the door, while the two arrows on the sides indicate that boarding passengers should form two lines at the sides while waiting for the train. Although courtesy requires riders to wait for exiting passengers before entering the train, it is not uncommon for this to be somewhat ignored. Each boarding location is also numbered with the carriage and door number, and passengers use this information to position themselves at the ideal location for transferring to another line, or their desired exit at their destination station.
  Recently terrorist concerns have increased precautions against any attacks. Larger stations have cabinets with disposable gas masks, and a new phone has been installed. The phone has two buttons, the red button connects directly to the emergency response system and the green button connects to an information service.
  Platform walls are marked with a thick line, of the color of the train line, along with the name of current, next (and sometimes previous) station and an arrow indicating the train's direction. Each station also has a unique number, and its name, written in hangul, Roman characters, and Chinese characters. If the rider can transfer to another train line, that color is represented as a thinner horizontal stripe above, or below, the station's color.
