The Seoul Metropolitan Government decided Wednesday to push ahead with its plan to build a new bullet train station in Suseo, southern Seoul.
The city’s urban development committee confirmed plans to build a new KTX line connecting the southern district to Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province by 2015.
The government had planned to operate the new KTX line between Suseo and Busan from 2015, but the plan was delayed after the city government tried to build the station in a more central location in Samseong-dong, Gangnam District, instead of Suseo area.
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs is planning to complete a 61.1 kilometer bullet train line linking Suseo and Pyeongtaek with some 3.8 trillion won ($3.3 billion) investment.
When the line is completed, a private company will operate KTX trains from Suseo to Busan on the Kyungbu line and Mokpo on the Honam line from 2015.
Meanwhile, the Seoul Metropolitan Government said it will continue to negotiate with the ministry to extend the line from Samseong-dong to northern parts of the city.
