1. Introduction
The Republic of Korea has a modern and extensive transport network consisting of motorways, (high-speed) train connections and bus routes across the entire country.
South Korea’s main airport is Incheon International Airport, 50 kilometres from Seoul. Incheon Airport was built on a partly artificial island in the Yellow Sea and was opened in 2001. The airport is one of the busiest in Asia. In 2016, 57.7 million passengers travelled via this airport to destinations all over the world. On 18 January 2018 the new Terminal 2 will be opened, increasing the airport’s capacity even further. From 2005, Incheon International Airport was voted the best airport worldwide each year, in a competition organised by the Airports Council International.
For the Olympic Games in PyeongChang, a new high-speed railway was constructed between Wonju and Gangneung. This line became operational in December 2017 and reduces the travel time from Incheon and Seoul to Gangneung to less than two hours.
During the Olympics, there are three important transport hubs, the so-called Transport Malls. These hubs are situated near railway stations and large parking areas. From the Transport Malls shuttle buses run to all venues and smaller hubs. The new high-speed train stops at the Jinbu Transport Mall.
