context_page_description: Seoul's transportation boom dates back to the area of the Korean Empire, when the first streetcar lines were laid and a railroad linking Seoul and Incheon was completed. Today, as a result of the diversification of Seoul's transportation network, it has become a great transportation hub for Asia.
context_section_description: Seoul is connected to every major city in South Korea by railroad. Seoul is also linked to most major Korean cities by the KTX bullet train which features a normal operation speed of more than 300 km/h, making commuting between cities extremely convenient for commuters and tourists. Major railroad stations include:
  Seoul Station, Jung-gu - Gyeongbu line (KTX/ITX-Saemaul/Mugunghwa-ho), Gyeongui line (Saemaul/Commuter)
  Yongsan Station, Yongsan-gu - Honam line (KTX/ITX-Saemaul/Mugunghwa), Jeolla/Janghang lines (Saemaul/Mugunghwa)
  Yeongdeungpo Station, Yeongdeungpo-gu - Gyeongbu/Honam/Janghang lines (ITX-Saemaul/Mugunghwa)
  Cheongnyangni Station, Dongdaemun-gu - Gyeongchun/Jungang/Yeongdong/Taebaek lines (Mugunghwa)
  In addition, Suseo Station,in Gangnam District, is scheduled to open in late 2016, and offer KTX service on the newly built Suseo High Speed Railway.
