I remember watching an early 90's documentary about urban transport in Vietnam. The goverment were going to great efforts to get people off mopeds and bicycles and encourage the use of buses!
Im not sure how it ended up for vietnam, but the planners saw bicycles and hugeley popular mopeds as old fashioned and uncivilised.
You should do some thorough research on favoured existing commuting/transport methods in South Korea.
You must remember that that cycle transportation will only fly with a select group of people. And ample public transport, particulary mass transit as has been so successful in Japan & Hong Kong is seen as the best solution to transportation in busy successful modern asian cities.
4 miles I think is the golden number for acceptable bike commuted for a wide group of people. But I strongly reccomend that you only consider this for residential areas of any modern heavily populated asian city.
There simply wouldnt be enough room for everyone on the roads otherwise!
