반대로 = opposite or reverse.
We commonly say “I took/rode the subway going in the opposite direction.” Or “ I took/rode the subway going the other way.”
Hope this helps~

thanks for your comment,
so the other way around is not fit for the sentence or not preferred way?

@lUddd Sure :) You can say the ‘other way’ (second sentence on other comment.) but you don’t need to use the word ‘around’ with the phrase. I think we don’t use it in this situation because it is close to the word round so we would think a round trip..
