Korea Railroad Corp., known as Korail, said Monday it will expand train service by adding special trains for the Buddha’s Birthday holiday period in May.
Korail will operate 38 additional KTX and conventional train services on four routes nationwide, including the Gyeongbu and Honam lines, from May 23 through the substitute holiday on May 25. The added runs will increase capacity by about 19,000 seats.
Korail will also add three early-morning KTX services on May 26, the day after the holiday period, to improve commuting convenience.
Tickets for the additional trains will go on sale at 10 a.m. on April 28 through Korail’s ticketing website, its mobile app KorailTalk, and station ticket counters nationwide.
Lee Min-seong, head of Korail’s customer marketing division, said the operator is increasing service to meet higher travel demand during the holiday and will do its best to provide safe and comfortable service.
