The year ahead and a look back at 2018

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:

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.

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.
