Discover how the GTX project, comprising three initial lines (A, B, and C) and three future extensions (D, E, and F), aims to cut down the average commute time from two hours to just 30 minutes. With trains reaching speeds of up to 180 km/h, GTX is set to become the world's fastest subway system, surpassing even London's Crossrail and France's RER.
We'll explore:
• The significance of the GTX in easing Seoul's notorious traffic congestion.
• The ambitious construction timelines and key milestones for Lines A, B, and C.
• The socio-economic impact on South Korea, including potential boosts to the birth rate and housing market challenges.
