South Korea: Facts & StatsTRANSPORTATIONRoads:Roads and expressways rapidly expanded during the late 1980s, before and after the 1988 Olympics. Although the total kilometers of roads rapidly increased, the construction failed to keep pace with the flood of cars and trucks on Korean roadways. In 1988, Korea had 51,000 kilometers of roadways, less than half unpaved. Express highways between major cities measured 1,539 kilometers in 1988, compared to 86.8 kilometers in 1967.The Korean government classifies highways in South Korea as freeways (expressways/motorways), national highways, and various classifications below the national level. All freeways charge tolls, and the Korea Highway Corporation operates freeways except Route 130. The freeway network serves all parts of South Korea. The Highway Corporation operates service stops with dining facilities en route. Railroads:South Korea Train Travel is a popular means of transportation in the country and is especially preferred by the citizens as it is inexpensive in comparison to flights and more comfortable than busses. According to a recent survey about 3,472 km of the country is cover by rail tracks of which 1,361 km is electrified.The South Korean railways are largely government-owned. Beginning in the 1990s, high-speed railway lines (the latter achieving speeds of about 190 miles per hour) were constructed. The Seoul-Pusan High-Speed Rail line, constructed between 1992 and 2004, has reduced the travel time between the two cities from more than four hours on the former express train to just over two and a half hours. Korail is the national train service operator of South Korea. Aviation:Although most Koreans travel between cities by express bus or train, air service between major cities increased, especially among business travelers. Korean Air, founded by the government in 1962 and privately owned since 1969, served as South Korea's sole airline until 1988. Korean Air serves major domestic routes, offering international service. A second carrier, Asiana Airlines, established in 1988, served three domestic cities. To accommodate the rapidly growing number of air travelers, Incheon International Airport (serving Seoul) opened in 2000.Airports of South Korea:
