[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Wonju City, Gangwon Province announced on the 17th that it will carry out a citywide signature campaign to extend the GTX (Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area Express Train) line to Wonju.

The GTX attraction signature campaign will be conducted simultaneously online and offline until the 31st. Participants can join through signature sheets available at the Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers, or via the Wonju City website or automated phone response system.

Wonju City expects that once the GTX is connected to Wonju, accessibility to major urban centers in Seoul and the metropolitan area will be dramatically improved, leading to regional economic revitalization and population inflow, such as commuting between Wonju and the metropolitan area.

Meanwhile, last month, Wonju City and the four cities of Gwangju, Yeoju, and Icheon in Gyeonggi Province jointly formed a private-led GTX attraction joint promotion committee and are conducting a Blue House national petition.
