- The Korean Railroad Company plans a 12 percent fare increase for quasi-high-speed and Saemaeul-ho trains to address significant losses in traditional rail operations.
- These fare adjustments are included in the company's revenue goal of 3.2 trillion won ($2.4 billion) for the year.
- Despite the proposed hikes, an operational deficit of 313.7 billion won for conventional rail services is expected, pending approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
- Critics urge Korail to improve internal efficiencies and suggest merging with the SR operator to alleviate financial pressures.
