Busan station (Korean부산역) is a train station in Busan, South Korea. It is the southern terminus of the Gyeongbu Line & the Gyeongbu high-speed railway, the most important railway lines in the country, which links Busan with Seoul in around two and a half hours on KTX, Korea's high-speed rail train.[1][2][3] There are also cheaper, slower rail alternatives to seoul, including the "Mugungwha" Train, which takes over four hours. Essentially all trains to Seoul stop in a few settlements between the two cities. It is also an underground station on Busan Metro Line 1 between Jungang and Choryang stations. The station is centrally located in the Choryang-dong (neighbourhood) of Dong-gu (ward) in Busan.
