[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 28th that it will operate six temporary electric trains on weekends along the Donghae Line (Bujeon~Taehwagang) starting from the 16th of next month.

The temporary electric trains will run in response to the expected increase in passengers at Osiria Station on the Donghae Line due to the opening of 'Lotte World Busan.'

On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, the southbound trains will depart from Bujeon Station to Taehwagang Station at 8:48 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM respectively, while the northbound trains will depart from Taehwagang Station to Bujeon Station at 10:20 AM, 2:32 PM, and 5:30 PM respectively.

Before operating the trains, KORAIL will run an emergency transportation task force to conduct joint inspections of convenience facilities such as restrooms and elevators within stations, and will additionally deploy quarantine supplies and personnel to ensure safety accident prevention and thorough customer guidance.

Moreover, starting from the 31st of this month when the theme park opens, KORAIL will monitor subway passenger trends and consider deploying temporary trains earlier if congestion rapidly increases.

KORAIL President Na Hee-seung stated, “We will strive to ensure that the operation of temporary electric trains on the Donghae Line contributes to regional tourism revitalization and improvement of convenience in railway transportation.”
