KTX-I

KTX-I is a high speed rail train, traveling in a speed about 305km/h (190 mph)

One of the most convenient ways to travel between cities in Korea is by train. Bus schedules can vary depending on traffic, but that is hardly the case for the railroad, allowing passengers to make accurate travel plans and move to destinations on time.

Korean trains are classified based on their speed and the amenities offered onboard. The classifications include the express trains KTX and KTX-Sancheon; regular trains ITX-Saemaeul and Mugunghwa; and KORAIL tourist trains. Ticket fares depend on the train type and distance of travel. The two main railway lines are Gyeongbu Line and Honam Line but other railway lines also include Jeolla and Gyeongjeon Lines, which reach as far as Yeosu and Changwon on the southern coast.

For an affordable vacation traveling around Korea, tourists can consider buying the KORAIL Pass, a railway pass exclusively for foreigners that allows unlimited use of all trains, including the KTX, for a selected number of days.
