HOW WE PUBLISH

Useful guidance, visible sources, honest limits.

Metroline Korea’s guides are designed to answer practical travel decisions: which stop to use, how areas connect, and how to build a day that flows. These standards explain how we keep that guidance useful and accountable.

01

Original, decision-focused writing

We publish original English summaries and guides organized around a traveler’s question, not copied destination descriptions. A guide should add structure, comparison, context, or a route that helps a reader make a decision.

02

Source hierarchy

For routes, stations, and public facilities, we prefer the responsible operator or Korean public-data publisher. For destinations, we prefer the venue, local government, or Korea Tourism Organization. Reputable secondary sources may provide context but do not replace an official source for time-sensitive facts.

Source links are shown when they materially support the guide. Readers should always verify opening hours, reservations, prices, transport notices, and eligibility rules at the original source before acting.

03

Fact checking and updates

We review station names, route order, place identity, and source links before publication. Guides carry an updated date. A correction may be made when a source changes, a reader identifies an error, or the product’s data coverage improves.

A page may remain online when its core guidance is useful even if a time-sensitive detail requires confirmation. We state that limitation instead of presenting an unverified detail as current.

04

AI-assisted work

Automation and AI tools may assist with data normalization, translation drafts, research organization, code, or editorial drafting. They are tools in the workflow, not independent sources. Public-facing claims should be checked against the cited or underlying source, and invented travel-operational facts are not acceptable.

05

Corrections and conflicts

Readers, venues, and data publishers can request a correction through the Contact page. Please identify the page, the disputed detail, and a reliable supporting source so the issue can be reviewed efficiently.

Advertising and potential commercial relationships do not alter route calculations or guarantee favorable coverage. Sponsored or affiliate material will be labeled clearly when present.
