Travlel Tip(1) - Railroad Korea(South)




One of the most convenient ways to travel between cities in Korea is by railroad. Bus schedules can vary depending on the traffic, but it is never the case for the railroad. Trains operate on fixed schedules, which allow passengers to arrive at their destination on time. 








Korea classifies trains based on their speed and the amenities offered onboard. There are three classifications: KTX express trains, and the non-express Saemaeul and Mugunghwa trains. Ticket prices depend on the classification of the train. There are two main railways in Korea: the Gyeongbu Line connecting Seoul to Busan, and the Honam Line from Yongsan Station in Seoul to Mokpo. Other railroads include the Jeolla and Gyeongjeon lines, which reach areas such as Yeosu or Changwon.




It is worth noting that the KR Pass, an exclusive railway pass for foreigners which allows unlimited use of trains, including KTX express trains, for a certain number of days, is now available at an affordable price.
