[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 28th that it will not conduct on-site ticket sales at the county office and Cheonggye-myeon office this year, following Korail's policy of 100% non-face-to-face reservation for Chuseok holiday train tickets.

Korail will conduct online reservations for holiday train tickets for three days from the 1st to the 3rd of next month, designating a reservation day for IT-vulnerable groups such as the disabled and elderly who have difficulty using the internet and mobile devices, and will allocate 10% of the seats preferentially for them.

Therefore, on the first day, only seniors aged 65 or older or registered disabled persons under the Disabled Welfare Act can reserve tickets. From the second day of reservation, all citizens can reserve holiday train tickets online via PC or mobile.

On the 2nd of next month, tickets for the Gyeongbu, Gyeongjeon, Donghae, and Chungbuk lines will be available for reservation, and on the 3rd, tickets for the Honam, Jeolla, Gangneung, Janghang, and Jungang lines will be available.

Railroad members can log in to the website via PC or mobile to make reservations online, and non-members can make reservations by phone through the Railroad Customer Center.

A Muan-gun official said, “Since Korail has decided on 100% non-face-to-face reservations to prevent COVID-19, we will actively promote this through various media such as the county website, LED billboards, and organizations and social groups to prevent confusion among residents.”
