# STEP 1
Talk about trains in Korea.
Several of the larger cities in Korea are interconnected by trains. There are different classes of trains, depending on their speed. The ticket prices are higher for faster trains. In 2004, the KTX bullet train began operation. The SRT bullet train followed suit in 2017. The speeds of these bullet trains are quicker than ordinary trains by a factor of two or more. They can reach speeds of 300km per hour, or even higher. The emergence of these trains has cut transit time by half.

Talk about how you get train tickets.
In the past, you had to go to a ticket counter at the train station to get tickets) I remember having to stand in line for a long time. Later, you could book tickets for trains online, so I made reservations on computer screens. Smartphones have become the norm since then, and many users get their tickets through ticketing apps. If you type in the departure station and final destination, the app shows you the available times. You can pick out a seat and pay for the ticket right then and there. then you get a mobile boarding pass on your phone. Getting a train ticket these days is hassle-free.
