About Korea rail network authority
Welcome to the website of Korea Rail Network Authority, the national railway corporation of South Korea. Our mission is to provide safe, reliable, and efficient rail transportation services to the people of South Korea.
As a government-owned corporation, we are responsible for managing and operating the country's railway infrastructure. This includes maintaining and upgrading existing rail lines, building new ones where needed, and ensuring that trains run on time and in a manner that is both safe and comfortable for passengers.
At Korea Rail Network Authority, we take pride in our commitment to excellence. We strive to be at the forefront of innovation in rail transportation technology, constantly seeking out new ways to improve our services and make them more accessible to all.
One area where we have made significant strides in recent years is high-speed rail. Our state-of-the-art KTX trains can reach speeds of up to 300 km/hour (186 mph), making them among the fastest trains in Asia. This has helped us connect major cities across South Korea more efficiently than ever before.
But our commitment goes beyond just speed. We also place a strong emphasis on safety and reliability. All of our trains undergo rigorous testing before they are put into service, and we have implemented numerous safety measures throughout our network to ensure that passengers can travel with peace of mind.
In addition to passenger services, we also play an important role in transporting goods across South Korea. Our freight services help businesses move their products quickly and efficiently from one part of the country to another.
Overall, at Korea Rail Network Authority we are proud of what we have accomplished so far - but there is always more work to be done. We remain committed not only to providing top-quality rail transportation services today but also investing in research & development so that future generations can continue enjoying safe & efficient travel by train throughout South Korea!
