Gwangju Urban Railway Corporation and Dong-gu Office to Operate 'Mudeungsan Theme Train' Starting from the 31st

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (President Yoon Jin-bo) announced on the 30th that starting from the 31st, it will operate the "Mudeungsan Theme Train," which captures the four seasons of Mudeungsan Mountain, in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek).

This theme train was planned to offer comfort and vitality to local residents exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. One car of the electric train is wrapped inside with photos of the four seasons of Mudeungsan, allowing passengers to feel as if they are surrounded by lush nature.

In particular, the floor is designed as a photo zone featuring valleys and hiking trails, and the walls showcase the winter scenery of Seoseokdae, providing a special space to experience the diverse charms of Mudeungsan, the mother mountain of Gwangju.

The theme train is scheduled to operate 6 to 12 times daily for five years.

Meanwhile, as social distancing at level 3 or equivalent is implemented in Gwangju, both organizations decided to cancel the originally planned theme train inauguration ceremony and actively participate in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the region.

President Yoon Jin-bo said, "We prepared the Mudeungsan Theme Train with the hope of offering comfort and strength to citizens struggling due to COVID-19," adding, "Under the warm embrace of Mudeungsan, like a mother, I hope all citizens of Gwangju unite with a community spirit to overcome this COVID-19 crisis."
