<5>‘Common people’s feet’ are also alienated from Gangbuk
There are 28 subway stations in Songpa-gu… Gangbuk-gu has only 3, excluding the light rail.
Due to the concentration of population, the number of city and village bus routes has increased by more than half.
Gangnam’s 3 districts account for ‘one quarter’ of the entire sidewalk area in Seoul.
As subway and bus routes, which serve as the ‘step for the common people,’ are centered around the Gangnam area of Seoul, the traffic imbalance between Gangnam and Gangbuk is deepening. The Gangnam area is ahead not only in terms of the pedestrian environment but also in various transportation-related amenities. Beyond the simple increase in apartment prices, the proportion of people who said, “I moved to Gangnam because of the good residential environment” has more than doubled in 10 years, pointing out that there is a need to expand infrastructure in the Gangbuk area for balanced development in Seoul.
As a result of the Seoul Economic Daily’s analysis of the urban railway route map in operation in downtown Seoul on the 21st, Songpa-gu (28) was found to be the autonomous district with the most subway stations as of June this year.
Seoul Transportation Corporation subway station information by autonomous district (Lines 1 to 8), Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) Line 1 operated section routes, Line 9 operated by Seoul Metro Line 9, stations on light rail lines (Uisinseol Line, Sillim Line) The numbers were added up. The portal station information address was used as the standard, and transfer stations were counted twice. Railroad lines built from the beginning to connect Gyeonggi-Incheon and Seoul, such as the Shinbundang Line and Suinbundang Line, were excluded.
