Another year has passed and time seems to go by faster each year. Once again, it has been a busy year for both Nikola and I. We would have loved to update the site more often, and we’re sorry to those who have missed the updates.
One of my resolutions this year is to bring Kojects back to life and give our readers more frequent posts about ongoing transport-related projects in Korea, as well as any urban news that relates to pedestrianization or making cities more walkable.
Last year we posted about:
- The Incheon Airport KTX service being suspended
- Seohae line opening
- New bicycle helmet laws
- The Incheon Airport KTX service ending for good
- The Seoul Walk and Bike Festival
Other developments in 2018 included:
- A section of the Donghae Line from Pohang to Yeongdeok was opened in January
- Opening of the Line 9 extension from Sports Complex to VHS Medical Center on December 1
- The GTX A line began construction on December 27
- The GTX C line got the green light following a preliminary feasibility study
- The Bundang Line was extended by one station to Cheongnyangni on December 31 (limited number of services per day)
Looking ahead
There are still many ongoing and upcoming projects around the country, including new light-rapid transit systems, tram lines, and the capital area’s future underground express network, the GTX.
We look forward to covering these as well as any other relevant stories as time allows us. As always, please feel free to send us any questions, comments or requests for coverage of projects.
Looking forward to some GTX coverage. :)
Thanks Philip. It’s great the GTX projects are now finally starting to gain some momentum after a lot of talks and maps up until now. Stay tuned. :)
Thanks for updating the site as much as you do! I know how hard it is to stay on top of things. Thankfully there’s always something interesting happening in Korea with regards to transportation and lots to write about.
Thanks a lot Andrew. Appreciate the kind words. :)
