F.A.Q.
Tips on train travel in South Korea
Is the KTX bullet train adapted for English speakers?
If you are planning long-distance travel on a bullet train in South Korea, you will find that most signs have needed information written not only in Korean but also in English. Plus, in case of doubt, you may always turn for help to workers at the stations' information desks as well as the train staff, who generally speak English.
Types of Korea Trains: what to know?
On the whole, there are several types of trains running in South Korea. The most modern and fast ones are the high-speed KTX bullet trains, there are also Saemaeul regular trains and the Mugunghwa passenger trains which are often referred to as the metro.
Types of Korea Tickets
If you are planning to travel on regular local passenger trains (Saemaeul or the metro-like train called Mugunghwa) you may purchase cheaper standing-room tickets or those with assigned seats. However, for travel on high-speed KTX trains, there are 2nd and 1st class ticket options with the latter offering more spacious seats. The general rule for buying KTX train tickets is the earlier you get them, the better, here on Rail Ninja you can book your South Korea KTX tickets for departures that are as far as 2 years in advance.
