Yes, it should be noted that if you live in somewhere like the UK or the US, the "bad" lines, 9 and 2, are technical and organisational marvels with no parallel in your country. From the end user standpoint they operate amazingly well. They're cheap, clean, safe, reliable, convenient. They're crowded at rush hour. Line 9 is so crowded at rush hour that there was this one time, a few weeks ago, that I wasn't able to get on a train and had to wait 3 minutes for the next one. That's how bad it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Waiting for the next one is a common thing in most countries. At least once or twice. Korea included.

in beijing at rush hour you line up at a train door, and you see two or three trains stop, allowing the first few people at the head of the line to enter, before you make it to the head of the line so you then can enter the third or forth train.
