I'm currently living in South Korea near Seoul. I'm blown away by the public transportation here. It seems like they are continuously expanding and improving all forms (subway, bus, regional rail and developing LRT). It seems that its not one or the other over here they build what they need and integrate the whole system. They don't argue that the road is for cars, or that they should just build subways. They build subways where the can, improve regional rail where they can, have BRT lanes in the middle of Seoul and on highways, and are building LRT now. Its a thing of beauty.
Anyways I'm currently working outside of seoul, but in what could be called the Greater Seoul Area (GSA) like the GTA. They just completed the electrification and elevation of a rail corridor from Seoul to another city called Chuenchon. I don't know how long the project took, but it looks great. This is the kind of rail corridors I dream on Metrolinx developing in Ontario.
First the elevated the rail corridor, then they built the station. They tore down the old station this summer and the new one just opened. I've included a before and after picture.
Here are the before pictures.In these pictures they have a new bus shelter they installed at almost all stops in the region. They have lcds with real time information about the next buses and local news and weather, plus the smaller displays on the inside and on the outside.
