Classes

There are four classes of trains. Developed in Korea, the new high-speed KTX trains, introduced in 2004, can travel at over 300km/h. At present the high-speed track extends from Seoul to Daejeon, which KTX trains reach in an hour or less, and is being extended to Busan on the east coast. The next fastest and most luxurious are Saemaul trains, which also stop only in major cities. Mugunghwa trains stop more often and are almost as comfortable and fast as Saemaul trains. Tonggeun (commuter) trains are the cheapest and stop at every station, but only run infrequently on certain routes and are a dying breed. Some trains have a dining car, while others have gimbap (Korean sushi) lunch boxes and a snack trolley.
