SRT Chuseok Train Ticket Reservation Postponed by One Week to October 15-17

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] SR, the operator of the Suseo High-Speed Railway (SRT), announced on the 2nd that it will postpone the SRT Chuseok train ticket reservation schedule by one week, considering the implementation of social distancing level 2.5 in the metropolitan area.

SR explained that during the special Chuseok transportation period from the 29th of this month to October 4th, only window seats will be sold to maintain social distancing on trains, and the reservation was delayed due to system processing for this measure.

Accordingly, the advance reservation for the elderly and disabled originally scheduled for the 8th of this month will be postponed to the 15th, the reservation for the Gyeongbu Line scheduled for the 9th will be postponed to the 16th, and the reservation for the Honam Line scheduled for the 10th will be postponed to the 17th, each delayed by one week.

Meanwhile, this year’s Chuseok SRT train ticket reservations will be conducted 100% non-face-to-face due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). During the holiday ticket reservation period from the 15th to the 17th, tickets cannot be purchased even by visiting stations.

Since reservations will be conducted 100% non-face-to-face, SR has designated a separate reservation day (the 15th) for IT-vulnerable groups such as the disabled and elderly, allocating 10% of the total seats preferentially for them.
