A ride on the express train costs 4,150 won ($3.70) and the nonstop train 8,000 won.
The AREX also currently offers discounts, such as 1,500 won of discount when more than three people book together. Customers with international flight tickets -- offered by Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju International Airport, China Southern Airlines and T’way Airlines -- can also purchase a nonstop AREX ticket for 6,900 won.
