Expansion of KTX and Other Train Benefits for Pregnant Women and Families with Multiple Children

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Railroad (KORAIL) is expanding train usage benefits for pregnant women and families with multiple children.

On the 6th, Korea Railroad announced that new members of the ‘Mampyeonhan KTX’ program will receive a package of preferential train tickets and a reserved seat service for commuter passes.

Previously, pregnant women could use the ‘Mampyeonhan KTX’ product, which allowed them to use special class seats at the regular KTX fare along with one accompanying guardian. This benefit has been provided since 2015.

In addition, from Pregnant Women’s Day on the 10th of this month until the end of next year, new members of ‘Mampyeonhan KTX’ will receive preferential tickets as pregnancy and childbirth congratulatory gifts, including 50% and 30% fare discount coupons (valid for one year) and two special class upgrade coupons.

In particular, pregnant women commuting with commuter passes will be given the benefit of reserved seats twice a day without additional fare. Pregnant women can receive these benefits for one year by registering proof documents such as pregnancy diagnosis certificates, pregnancy confirmation letters, or birth certificates on the Korea Railroad website or at station counters.

Korea Railroad will also expand support for families with multiple children until the end of next year. The core adjustment is that families with two or more children under the age of 25, who have been receiving a 30% discount on adult fares when three or more people use the KTX together under the ‘Dajanyeohaengbok’ product, will now be able to receive a 50% discount on adult fares when purchasing a 4-person companion seat ticket by applying for the ‘Dajanyeohaengbok’ service.

A Korea Railroad official said, “We will increase benefits for pregnant women and families with multiple children who use the railroad to help overcome the low birthrate crisis.”
