Korail Train Tickets Only on Naver and Kakao? ... Also Bookable Directly on Government and Corporate Intranets

Train Tickets Now Available Directly Through Public and Private Intranets
Standardized Interface and Enhanced Security for Greater Convenience
Service Expansion Planned Through Collaboration with Startups and Corporations

Now, train tickets can be purchased directly from various private companies, government websites, and mobile applications. This is because Korail has developed a 'dedicated web' that anyone can easily use without a separate program.

According to Korail on the 5th, previously, tickets could only be purchased from about 10 places such as Naver and Kakao. Each company had to create separate programs and screens, which was inconvenient. However, now it is possible to access directly from government or corporate intranets and conveniently book tickets on a standardized screen.

A familiar interface like 'KorailTalk' is provided, making it easy and fast to use. Security has also been enhanced with improved authentication procedures, and data usage can be controlled. Moreover, services such as real-time train location information and emergency notices are available, making it convenient.

This system has been piloted since last month on the intranet 'e-Saram' (Electronic Personnel Management System) used by public officials during business trips. In the second half of the year, the service will be further expanded through cooperation with various companies, including travel-related startups.

A Korail official said, "We will actively discover railway-specific public data that anyone, including private companies and public institutions, can easily utilize."
