Practical takeaways
- #1 Seoul Station averages 246,034 gate taps a day — 2.9× the #25 station, Cheongnyangni (85,422). Even within the top tier, scale varies widely.
- 17 of the top 25 stations serve two lines or more. That describes the composition of the top group; it does not prove that line overlap causes crowding.
- The daily average divides 2026-09's 30-day boarding-plus-alighting total. In-paid-area transfers do not tap a gate again, so these values cannot be converted into station crowding or tourist use.
