KST
Railways in Korea are operated by the Korea National Railroad (http://www.korail.com/). Tourists can use this fast, safe and reliable means
of transportation at reasonable prices. Trains travel on time, with few
likelihoods of delay or traffic jam than road traffic. There are three kinds of trains being operated: the Korea Train Express(KTX), the Super-Express Saemaeul-ho and Express Mugunghwa-ho. It
it not easy to purchase tickets on the weekends and holidays unless you buy in advance. Tickets can be purchased at station windows,
travel agencies, or online.
Korea Train Express (KTX)With the opening of the KTX in April, 2004, Korea has joined France, Japan, Germany, and Spain in offering super high-speed train travel. The initiation of express rail service, with trains traveling at a
speed up to 300 km per hour, is bringing enormous changes to the lives of Koreans by enabling them to reach anywhere in the country within two hours. It will also have economic,
social and cultural implications for generations to come.

bullet train takes you to Seoul within only 50 minutes from Daejeon and 2.5 hours from Seoul to Busan. The bullet train’s operation puts
