It aims to facilitate navigation for foreign travelers not familiar with the local language by using globally understood characters ( Latin letters and Arabic numbers). The system is now in use by various railway companies around the world such as in mainland China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States. History Station numbering was first introduced—but to less fanfare—in South Korea, by the Seoul Metropolitan Subway in 1983 as a section of Seoul Subway Line 2 ( Euljiro 1-ga to Seongsu) was opened.
