I was in Seoul not too long ago and they have an immense subway system which has a number of multi level subway stations (due to multiple lines crossing at some stations) and they have a number of stations which are 20m underground and a couple that are over 40m underground. It is quite cool what they have done. There system and infrastructure is quite different though because they typically build below ground and above ground. They have a pretty intricate network of below ground tunnels and shopping areas and such. Their stations are also considerably longer than most places. Their subway stations can span 3 or 4 blocks in length and I think their trains are about 3 or 4 times the length of what our 4 cars trains will be.
