기차여행 - Train Travel Planning & Exploration

In 2014, korail&KCT entered into a business partnership to launch a mobile application for train travel and to develop cultural tourism content centered around train stations.

This train travel app enhances promotional efforts by connecting users with nearby attractions, dining options, accommodations, and shopping establishments located around train stations nationwide, enabling a more convenient travel experience by rail.

To further improve the enjoyment and ease of train journeys, we offer a travel planning feature that boosts educational opportunities by providing insights into railroad history and hands-on learning experiences.

The primary functionalities of the train travel app include:

- In-depth narratives about national and metropolitan train stations

- Train schedule reservations and ticket bookings for each station

- A travel map that links information available near the train station

- An experience tour involving stamp collection

- A ‘story album’ to capture cherished travel moments

- Options for sharing information on social networks

- Themed local tours associated with train stations

Title: A Seamless and Enriching Companion for Modern Rail Travel

Having used this application extensively during my recent travels, I can confidently say it has revolutionized the way I experience train journeys. The app masterfully blends practical utility with cultural discovery, transforming routine trips into engaging adventures. The ability to not only book tickets and check schedules but also instantly access curated information about local attractions, dining, and shopping near each station is incredibly empowering—it turns layovers and arrivals into opportunities for spontaneous exploration. 

I was particularly impressed by the educational depth it offers; the historical narratives and hands-on learning modules provide a rich context that makes travel more meaningful. The stamp collection feature and story album add a delightful gamified element, encouraging me to document and share my experiences creatively. It’s more than a booking tool; it’s a thoughtfully designed platform that celebrates rail travel as a gateway to culture, connection, and discovery.
