How to find lost items in the subway
Register at the customer safety office
If you lose something on the subway, there are three things you should immediately remember. If you lose an item, you may not remember it right away, but if you remember the information below as accurately as possible and visit the station office or subway lost and found center, you can quickly find the lost item.
Location of the subway you got off: Remember the compartment number written at the foot of the platform (train compartment and number you boarded)
Remember where you lost your item
Sections and times of train boarding and exiting stations
Detailed information of the lost item (ex: product capture from the Internet)
Once reported and accepted, the lost item report information will be delivered to the relevant station and train. When the train arrives at the final station, a staff member will go to the appropriate compartment of the train and check for lost items. If you have lost an item, you will be contacted and steps will be taken to determine how to receive it.
When passing through the turnstile with a card
Since the station information and passage time of the ticket gate you passed through are recorded on the card, it can be of great help in finding lost items. If you present the card you used to ride the subway to the station attendant, the station attendant will recognize your card and obtain your boarding information.
In case of objects dropped on the tracks
The fastest way is to apply at the customer safety office at the relevant station. As soon as the subway ends, staff will go down to the tracks and collect lost items. You can receive it as early as the next day. Alternatively, you can request delivery by courier, cash on delivery, but please note that it may take some time.

There is a way to contact the subway lost and found center operated by each line. The subway lost and found center holds numerous lost items that have not found their owners. Unless someone intentionally took it, most lost items are stored in a lost and found center.
