The Metropolitan Seoul Subway system, consisting of 380 stations, providesthe major transportation mode in the metropolitan Seoul area. Focusing on thenetwork structure, we analyze statistical properties and topologicalconsequences of the subway system. We further study the passenger flows on thesystem, and find that the flow weight distribution exhibits a power-lawbehavior. In addition, the degree distribution of the spanning tree of theflows also follows a power law.
