Why Korea Built The World's Fastest Subway System

Welcome to Railways Explained! In this video, we dive into the transformative Great Train Express (GTX) project in South Korea, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing urban transit and drastically reducing commute times in the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area.
We are proud to be sponsored by Harting Technology Group, a 100% family-owned German company and a global leader in connectivity solutions for industrial technology since 1945. Harting's state-of-the-art connectors, cables, and network components ensure seamless operations in railway systems worldwide. Learn more about Harting's innovative solutions and visit them at the Innotrans fair in Berlin from September 24 to 27 in Hall 16, Stand 200.

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.

In San Francisco we spent almost 2 billion dollars to dig less than 2 miles of underground subway. I'm amazed at how cheaply Koreans are able to build their new subway line.

cost of living are different. California is way way way more expensive than Seoul.

[@henrystoes6508]

just a hunch, but south korea is probably using way fewer contractors and they actually build transit on a regular basis so they don’t have to spend billions on acquiring the knowledge every time they do it

Check out the Transit Costs Project. It's not that it's cheap in Korea, it's expensive in the US (and the English speaking world generally). They researched why it's so expensive here. Cost of living is part of it, but a surprisingly small part.

[@juanmcm]

Well, in my opinion in SF there is a differentiating factor to what has already been expressed by other commentators of the famous and notorious -NIMBYs- (yep _not in my back yard)_ of the Anglo-Saxon world... Yes friends, I'm talking about that idyllic city being in a seismic zone and this will also mean that with some kind of emergency or containment or security infrastructure, the cost of the infrastructure itself will increase.

[@katrinabryce]

On the western end of the Elizabeth Line, it is shared with Great Western Railway services. The Class 387 trains they use for their *slow* services do 110mph (177km/h). They also use those trains (different subclass with a different internal layout and painted a different colour, but fundamentally the same model) on the Heathrow Express. The fast trains on that route are operated using Class 800/802 train sets which run at 125mph (201km/h). Those are intercity services, but also serve as a metro-like commuter service to Twyford/Reading/Didcot.

[@pacificostudios]

California should start looking at high speed rail as a way to achieve what Korea's GTX does. A "blended service" line from Palmdale to Burbank, Los Angeles, Fullerton, and Anaheim would dramatically improve commuting between the Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley, and Orange County. Then build the next blended service line east toward Riverside and Temecula. Unlike Seoul, the CA HSR projects in SoCal do not require long tunnels under urban areas.

[@RailwaysExplained]

The next video will be about the California HSR project update. Stay tuned.

[@pacificostudios]

@@RailwaysExplained - I suggest looking at the topic from the perspective of what blended service with Metrolink would achieve. Much as CalTrain used CA HSR money to rebuild its San Jose-San Francisco line years before HSR even arrived. I'll even collaborate with you.

[@RailwaysExplained]

We have already written the script, focusing on the recurring issue of missed deadlines and the overall value of the project. Your proposal is certainly intriguing, and we will consider it. Please contact us via email so we can further discuss and structure the scope.

[@IELife-de2oc]

Riverside county would do better to try to extend the sprinter from Escondido to riverside stopping in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and ending at the south Perris metro link station. . Metro link is run very badly. Extending connections using a better designed light rail would be for the best. The population increases in Riverside county are extreme in those areas. They need to extend public transportation there before building more houses and complicating future construction options.

[@pacificostudios]

@@IELife-de2oc - Sorry, Sprinter would be way too slow. The top speed is only 55 MPH.

[@lawrencebautista1]

My only qualm on the GTX so far is that the seats are uncomfortable, not even padded, unlike their regular subway cars. And I was expecting they'll install a transverse seating layout instead or at least a mix of longitudinal or transverse seating like in London's Elizabeth line, since this is a commuter/suburban line. It still has emphasis on standing passengers more than sitting passengers typical of Asian commuter rail running like a regular rapid transit/subway. I also wish Japan can build something similar to this. I know Tokyo metropolitan area now has a mature railway network, but I believe there is still an opportunity to build a GTX or Elizabeth line-style semi-high speed commuter/suburban rail network in Tokyo linking from the city center to the neighboring cities and prefectures. It is really a pain riding the JR commuter rail lines during rush hours and standing inside the train for hours as the seating layout is the same as their subway. Although the Shinkansen also functions as some kind of a semi-high speed commuter rail line like the GTX with thousands of commuters using it every day commuting from Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Yokohama, Saitama, Takasaki and Utsunomiya.

[@klopkerna3562]

Japan already has an extensive rail system. It is dense and crowded but I'm not sure they will have enough space to build something similar.

[@falcon9ft710]

ライナーis their gtx, im korean we only had few, meaningless rapid service on our subway But 東京 already have decent 特急、快特、快速、ライナー , etc.. GTX style would surely be faster, but not much difference

Londons Crossrail and Paris RER as German S-Bahn systems are not counted as subway. They are called Surburban trains, to connect to regions arround with the City.

[@etbadaboum]

In Paris they are used as such to go from one side of the city to another. RER A as a ridership of 1M per day, qualifying it as a metro.

[@trainsandscifi]

@@etbadaboum maybe for a normal passenger it seems to be the same, but when a "city-train" is operated like a railway train, compartible with normal railway System (gauge, electric, signals, using the same kind of rolling stock just adapted for city uses, ...) it is not defined as a metro. Metros/subways/undergrounds on the other hand have much more in commun with trams. Besides Berlin and Hamburg also has that: U-Bahn (metro) and S-Bahn (surburban), you could call Berlin S-Bahn also as metro as well, but it isn't. S1 and S2 in Hamburg never leaves the City, while S3 is using between Buxtehude and Stade normal railway tracks for example, a subway can't do that just like that. Also "S-Bahn Karlsruhe" needs to change the System, when it starts using railway infrastructure.

[@etbadaboum]

@@trainsandscifi You make it sound like it's very different but the lines are much more blurrier

[@trainsandscifi]

@@etbadaboum it makes a differnt in operation. During the time when Berlin was splitted up, West-Berlin used subway trains for western S-Bahn lines, but it's just because they use the same gauge and power system. But this was an exception. And S-Bahn Berlin with a max speed of 100 km/h, very limited clearence diagram, power system of 750 V of side rails, not leaving the city, is most close to a subway. But it's operared by Deutsche Bahn, using signales compartible with railways. And it is, as I said, no subway. Paris RER lines A and B are partly operated by RATP, but still operated like a railway (edit: with overhead-lines, a width of 2.9 m and most important railway signales). So as London Overground and Crossrail.

@@Cecilia-ky3uw I'm not saying it's not good, it's great! I'm just saying it other systems are much better nowadays. I'd be interested to hear what criteria your talking about. In terms of speed, Japan is not the fastest. Network length/interconnectedness? Japan is not the biggest. Stations? This is more subjective so we can agree to disagree here but I don't think Japan has the most advanced stations (see high speed rail stations in China if you want to see what the gold standard looks like). The *only* criterion Japan will always be the best on is customer service. And yes MRT is very good there's no denying it, light-years better than anything in the States, but the global gold standard? 30 years ago that was true, not anymore.

[@Cecilia-ky3uw]

@@-Osiris- Japan isn't the fastest, or biggest(why is this a criterion), and the stations are relatively enough. Otherwise the trains are reliable and very timely. It does not fall far behind in speed and it serves despite having relatively less tracks compared to other cities. It is certainly still a gold standard. You can't tell me Tokyo cannot count itself with Singapore and and Shanghai and Hong Kong or Taipei in how good the rail is, in terms of HSR speed, you're arguing over a few kilometres per hour(in maximim achieved speed). And in terms of general speed, there is no gap at all between it and Singapore and Shanghai and Hongkong and Taipei unless you want to argue over the details, all of them travel at 80~km per hour. Otherwise Japan has consistently been the major country with extensive rail usage for a long time. Singapore is a city state. Hong Kong and Shanghai are both in China, and so the actual rail trio in country terms are China, Japan and SK, and the oldest of these and yet still competitive one is the Japanese one(the Chinese one is a fairly ludicrous overbuilding project) while the South Korean one is already higher in length than the Japanese one. But otherwise, who else?

@@Cecilia-ky3uw "Japan has consistently been the major country with extensive rail usage for a long time"... Yes, they've been doing it a long time, so what? I'm going to step off here as my intention was just to give a different opinion. The only (and last) thing I'll say is whether high speed intercity rail or metro rail, there are plenty of other places that do it better with their own technologies and systems (in terms of technologies not just the Chinese and Koreans but Germans and French especially), and besides the heritage factor of the shinkansen and the fact that the Japanese did it first, I don't think there is any consensus that Japan is the best in 2024

This transport in large and/or highly populated cities, a system like this is a good option, as well as I think the tram can also be and not so expensive because there are no tunnels in between.
