Word origin

환승역 (hwanseungyeok, "transfer station") joins 환승 (hwanseung, "transport transfer") and 역 (yeok, "station") to describe a station connecting different lines.

Usage tips

  • A transfer station can still require a walk between platforms, so the station name alone does not show how long the change takes.
