Thank you for visiting Kojects!

Anywhere you go in Korea, you’ll always see something being built. Kojects was started in 2011 to help inform people about the many projects going on around South Korea, with a focus on transport and public infrastructure. Our website has grown to become a reliable source of information for news and information on transport and urban development in Korea. We also cover sustainable energy and green initiatives, including the introduction of pedestrian friendly and green spaces to urban environments.

Disclaimer: At Kojects we try to keep our information as up to date and accurate as possible. However, it should be noted that plans and dates for future projects can change very quickly.

Once he arrived in the country, he quickly became fascinated with the scale and efficiency of Korea’s transport systems. The sight of so many developments and projects around Seoul and the rest of Korea made him realize that there was no easy resource which kept track of all of these ongoing projects. The result was Kojects, and more about why this site was started can be found here. Andy has worked as a reporter and editor, and also has experience at government agencies in both Korea and New Zealand including the The Korea Transport Institute (KOTI). Andy is also a Korea correspondent for industry magazine International Rail Journal.

  • Hi Andy.

    During my previous trips to Korea in 2011 and 2012 respectively, I find it a bit hard to go to Myeongdong from Incheon International Airport especially for accompanied adults. From the airport, we usually take the Arex Express Train up to Seoul Station but the trouble comes in during our transfer from Arex Line to Line 4 though both are in Seoul Station. People still have to go up and down to transfer and there are portions that there are no lifts or escalators and it is quite hard for tourists carrying their luggages. Is it still the same or they have already installed new lifts or escalators? Arex is undeniably the fastest way to reach downtown Seoul from the Airport. I Just wish that the transfer from the said two lines would be easier. Please advise. Thanks! :)

  • From now on, I’ll enjoy your blog :) Do u remember me? My name is Joo Yeon Woo. I’m in Korea National University of Transportation. My major is Railroad Facility Eng.

  • I was born 1943, schooling, & work at seoul korea until 1968,
    become Korean-Canadian 1969, married, now widowed.
    Now as pensioner (rather poorer one…), try to visit Korea often being homesick, meeting friends & relatives, possibly using medical services too…..etc. if there are special fees for senior over 70. Subway, bus, train…..etc.

  • Not sure if this is relevant or where to post, but I think they are testing new rolling stock on the GJ line. They are silver and have Korail along them, but not the normal colour scheme.
