All about Pyeongchang's Olympic : Part (1) Transportation

Hello. We are Korea National Souvenir Center. 

With Pyeongchang's Olympic Games just around the corner, interest in the Games is growing.

It would be more convenient to know about Pyeongchang than to go there 

without knowing anything. I'm ready for you who knows nothing.

Here are all about transportation.

 

The road to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is more convenient than ever.
With the Kyung-gang Line KTX being opened on July 22, it took about two hours and 12 minutes
from Incheon International Airport to Gangneung, where the ice rink takes place, and from Seoul Station
to Gangneung Station in one hour and 36 minutes. Even if you live in Seoul, you can take the train
to Gangneung in the morning and return home in the late evening after watching the Olympics.

A complimentary shuttle bus

It is said that the city of Pyeongchang and Gangneung are free bus services during the Olympics.
The Pyeongchang Organizing Committee plans to use 700 large shuttle buses every day to draw passengers
and deploy 44 low-powered buses for the disabled and the elderly who are unable to move.
Three train stations (Pyeongchang, Ulsan, Gangneung) and four bus terminals (Jeongseon, Jangpyeong, Jangpyeong,
Jinbu-myeon, and Gangneung) are equipped with shuttle buses, each with an interval of 5 to 10 minutes between trips.
And there are 27 routes. It is also available free of charge without trains or bus tickets.

 

Transfer Parking Lot and Vehicle Quadrain

 

I'm sure there are spectators who want to tour the Olympic area as well as the games.
Those people can easily get a look at it by car! The Pyeongchang organizing committee will run seven transit parking lots,
totaling 10,300 cars. Transfer parking lot hours are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. If there is a night competition, i
t will be extended to the end of the competition 2 hours. The second subhead of the car is also planned for the Olympics.
On even date, a vehicle with an even number plate end point may be driven.
Pyeongchang will voluntarily host a second subhead. Visitors who do not go to stadiums
during the Olympics will have to pay a penalty if they do not follow suit.

Other things to be careful !!

 

For the smooth movement of athletes and Olympic officials, the Olympic bus lanes will run for one month 

from February 1 to 28. The private lanes will restrict the movement of general vehicles other than Olympic vehicles and buses.

 

The final news is ' Go Pyeongchang, ' a transportation application planned for release next week. The app provides an opportunity to check the best route to the stadium, bus routes, and time to get to the stadium by reservation, payment, and so on.

THANK YOU.
