‘Mom-Pyeonhan Korail’ is a service that offers a 40% discount on standard class fares for all trains operated by Korail, including KTX, ITX-Saemaeul, ITX-Ma-eum, Mugunghwa, and ITX-Cheongchun, for pregnant women and one accompanying person traveling together.

The discount benefit of a free upgrade allowing the use of KTX first-class seats at the price of standard class seats will also be maintained.

The discount period is within one year from the expected delivery date stated on the pregnancy confirmation certificate. Benefits can be received after applying online through the Mom-Pyeonhan Pregnancy One-Stop Service on the Government24 website.

Korail will apply the Mom-Pyeonhan Korail service starting with trains operating in October, which includes ‘Pregnant Women’s Day (October 10).’ However, train tickets can be booked in advance starting from the 5th of next month.

For more detailed information about the Mom-Pyeonhan Korail service, please check the Korail website, mobile app (KorailTalk), station, and train notices.

Korail is also working on improving the reservation system to expand benefits for pregnant women. In the future, dedicated seats for pregnant women will be set on all trains, providing sufficient seats to ensure a comfortable experience.

Earlier, since May, Korail expanded benefits for large families by offering a ‘half-price’ discount on train fares when three or more children travel together on KTX. As a result, it is estimated that more than 24,000 additional passengers received large family discounts compared to the previous year. The expected number of beneficiaries for this year is about 160,000.

Cha Seong-yeol, Head of Korail Customer Marketing Division, said, “We will continue to strengthen benefits for pregnant women and large families in line with the government’s efforts to overcome low birth rates.”
