The KTX (Korea Train Express) is a high-speed train service that connects Seoul and Busan in South Korea.
The journey takes around 2 hours and 37 minutes to 3 hours and 17 minutes,
with trains departing from Seoul Station and arriving at Busan Station.
The trains are equipped with comfortable seats,
and onboard food and beverage services but currently, due to COVID-19, this is prohibited.
And free to use Wi-Fi.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the station,
and prices vary depending on the type of seat and class you choose.
It’s a convenient and fast way to travel between the two cities.
And when using KTX trains, there is almost no chance that the train departs late or is delayed on the way.
Finally, all cities in Korea can be reached by train.
That’s why I recommend it if you are in a city.
I hope the information will help you on your journey.
