Advance Parking Fee Payment via 'KORAIL Talk'... Luggage Delivery Service Expanded Until December View original image

Accordingly, from this day forward, parking fees at 75 Korail parking lots nationwide can be prepaid through the Korail mobile reservation app (Korail Talk).


Targeting 75 Korail parking lots nationwide, including Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, and Busan stations, the Korail app has been improved to automatically calculate parking time based on the arrival time of the mobile ticket held by the customer, allowing prepayment of parking fees to ensure convenience in parking fee settlement.


Parking fees can be paid not only by credit card but also with Korail mileage. Discounts for train use, as well as eligibility for compact cars, eco-friendly vehicles, and public discounts (such as for persons with disabilities and national merit recipients), are automatically applied for payment. Korail Talk also allows users to check parking lot information at major train stations at a glance, including available parking spaces, usage fees, and parking lot locations.


Following the sequential establishment of luggage delivery services at Busan, Gangneung, Yeosu Expo, Singyeongju, and Gwangmyeong stations since January this year, luggage delivery will also be available at Suncheon and Mokpo stations starting September 25. In December, the service will be expanded to Seoul and Yongsan stations.


Korail will enhance mobile functions by the end of this year to allow users to apply for, reserve, and pay for luggage delivery through the mobile reservation app (Korail Talk), making the luggage delivery service easier and more convenient to use.



Park Ji-hong, Director of the Railway Bureau at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, "By integrating railway and daily life services centered on the moving 'me' (the user), we will discover various railway transportation services to reduce travel time and improve quality of life."
