It was reported in the news today that officials from the city of Moscow are in Seoul to study the Korean capital's subway system.
In the same article, it is reported that "over one-thousand foreign public officials and transportation experts from 30 countries have visited Seoul to survey its transportation system", according to representatives of the city of Seoul.
I believe it.
Seoul's subway system is one of the most beautiful examples of modern, efficient public transportation that I have ever seen. In my opinion, it rivals the "métro de Paris". It consists of an extensive network of underground and above-ground train routes servicing a large number of destinations both within the city of Seoul proper, and within the neighbouring city of Incheon and the surrounding province of Gyeonggi-Do (경기 도).
It therefore makes sense to me that officials from other cities would want to model their subway systems on Seoul's.
