Visit Seoul describes metro elevators, accessible gates, ramps and platform assistance for travelers with wheelchairs and strollers. Accessibility differs by station and exit: confirm that your specific entry and destination exits have elevators and that transfers do not require stairs. Older stations may depend on wheelchair lifts or staff assistance. Check the metro operator's current maintenance and outage notices before travel.

Schedules, fares, inventory, booking availability and accessibility can change; recheck the operator's current notices shortly before traveling.
