Services
Frequent service is provided on most routes, with trains every 15–60 minutes connecting Seoul to all major South Korean cities. Four classes of train operate: KTX, which is the Korean high-speed railway system, takes passengers from downtown Seoul to downtown Busan faster than an airplane (including check-in time), makes fewer stops and is more expensive than other trains; the Saemaul-ho (새마을호, named from "New Community Movement") service, makes more stops but still provides comfortable seating; Mugunghwa-ho (무궁화호, "Rose of Sharon") service, which is the most popular, stops at most but not all stations, and offers a mixture of reserved and unreserved seating; Nooriro-ho(누리로호), which will replace mid-long distance Mugunghwa service in selected route, is recently introduced; Commuter (통근 열차) service, which is the slowest and cheapest of the four, stops at all stops, and offers no reserved seating.
