Timetables change. Confirm times and fares on the operator’s site before you travel.

Adult fares as returned by the official data for the timetable date: for trains the standard fare of each train type, for buses the fare of each class. Discounts and passes are not shown.

Where the official data gives different classes of train the same fare on one route, no fare is shown for them: one number cannot be the fare of each class.

Departures from Suseo Station: check both SRT and Korail.
