Subway Map

Interactive subway maps of Busan, Taipei and Hong Kong: zoom in, search stations, see transfers and the route with the fewest transfers or stops, with station numbers and names in the local script and English.

Guide

Key points

  • Search by station name (local script or English) or number, and see transfers and routes.
  • Schematics built from the operators' open data, not geographic maps.
  • Fares only for Hong Kong, from MTR's official fare tables; no timetables or live information.

How to use it

  1. Pick a city, or type a station name, its romanized name or its number (e.g. 219) in the search box.
  2. Pinch to zoom and drag to move the map; on a computer, use the mouse wheel to zoom.
  3. Tap a station to see its lines, station numbers and transfers, and set it as your start or destination.
  4. With both set, the route with the fewest transfers or fewest stops appears on the map and as text. Sharing the address opens the same route.

Reading the map

  • A white circle with a thick outline is a transfer station. Lines that only pass close to each other do not connect.
  • Besides colour, lines carry number badges and an inner pattern (line 2 solid, line 3 dashed, line 4 dotted).
  • It is a schematic: spacing and directions do not match real distances or positions.
  • Every station is always named. Zoomed out, names get smaller and the English hides; zoom in to see both.

Busan transfer stations

Six: Seomyeon (lines 1 and 2), Yeonsan (1 and 3), Dongnae (1 and 4), Suyeong (2 and 3), Deokcheon (2 and 3) and Minam (3 and 4). Sasang also connects to the Busan–Gimhae Light Rail, which is run by another operator and is not drawn on this map.

Taipei Metro

There are 13 transfer stations. Xinbeitou and Xiaobitan are branch shuttles from Beitou and Qizhang: even on the same line you change trains there, and routes count it as a transfer. The Zhonghe-Xinlu Line splits at Daqiaotou towards Luzhou and towards Huilong, so going between the two branches means changing at Daqiaotou. The Circular Line and the Taoyuan Airport MRT are run by other operators and are not drawn; the four stations that connect to the Circular Line say so.

Hong Kong MTR

The map shows MTR’s ten heavy-rail lines and 97 stations (Light Rail is not included). There are 21 interchange stations, and a station keeps one code (e.g. CEN) on all its lines. Where two lines run along the same stretch — Central–Admiralty, Yau Ma Tei–Prince Edward, North Point–Quarry Bay, Yau Tong–Tiu Keng Leng, Hong Kong–Kowloon — they are drawn side by side. The East Rail Line splits at Sheung Shui towards Lo Wu and towards Lok Ma Chau. MTR’s data lists LOHAS Park trains as a shuttle to Tiu Keng Leng, so routes from LOHAS Park towards North Point include a change of trains (at peak times some trains run through). Fares are adult Octopus and single-journey fares from MTR’s official fare tables; the Airport Express has its own table. MTR’s open data has no running times or station coordinates, so Hong Kong routes show no time and the map has no “nearest station” button. Central–Hong Kong and Tsim Sha Tsui–East Tsim Sha Tsui are linked on foot outside the gates and are not drawn as interchanges.

What is not included

Timetables, last trains and live service information are not shown. Fares appear only where the operator publishes a fare table (Hong Kong). A route’s time is the sum of the operator’s station-to-station times, without waiting or walking between lines. Other lines, such as Busan’s Donghae Line or Hong Kong’s Light Rail, are not included.

FAQ

How accurate is the route time?

It adds up the operator's published station-to-station times. Waiting for trains and walking between lines are not included, so the real trip takes longer. Hong Kong shows no time, as MTR does not publish running times.

Why are some lines missing?

Only lines checked against an operator's official data are drawn: in Busan, lines 1–4 of Busan Transportation Corporation; in Taipei, the five lines of Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation; in Hong Kong, MTR's ten heavy-rail lines. Other operators' lines, such as the Donghae Line, the Gimhae light rail and Taipei's Circular Line, will follow once verified data is available.

Is my location stored?

No. It is requested only when you press “Find the nearest station”, compared with station coordinates in your browser, and then discarded. Hong Kong has no published station coordinates, so the button is not shown there.
