It is interesting to note that this city, which occupies only 0.6% of the country’s total land area, is home to almost one-fifth of the population. The bustling metropolis is well-equipped with an efficient transportation system that is regarded as one of the most advanced in the world.

The city’s well-connected subway and bus systems help to support and sustain its growing population. Moreover, Seoul is also known to be highly supportive of pedestrian foot travel, which is a major contributor to sustainable transport.

These efforts have not gone unrecognized, as Seoul has been awarded the prestigious Sustainable Transport Award in 2006. In fact, the city’s transport system has undergone significant expansion and now includes trams and railways too.
