‘BTS Busan Concert’ Korail Donghae Line Metropolitan Subway Increases Service, Extends Last Train

South Korea's railway operator, Korail, is enhancing its services to accommodate the expected influx of attendees for the BTS concert in Busan on June 12-13. The Busan-Gyeongnam branch of Korail announced special transportation measures, including increasing the frequency of the Donghae Line metropolitan subway and extending its operating hours.

With an estimated 50,000 visitors anticipated for the concert, Korail plans to add three additional services daily on the Donghae Line, particularly focusing on the route between Geoje Station and Taehwagang Station (Mangyang Station). Two of these extra services will run between 10 PM and 11 PM, anticipating heavy passenger traffic immediately following the concert's conclusion.

Furthermore, the last train service on the Donghae Line will be extended. Passengers heading towards Mangyang Station can expect the train to operate until 12:15 AM. To support attendees traveling from across the country, four temporary trains will be added to both the Jungang Line and the Donghae Line.

Prior to implementing these special measures, Korail conducted safety inspections of its railway facilities. They have also installed welcome messages for BTS and ARMY (the band's fandom) on screens at Busan Station and improved customer convenience facilities. Additional safety personnel will be deployed at stations and on trains during peak times to manage the large crowds effectively.
