Busan station (Korean: 부산역) is a train station in Busan, South Korea. It is the southern terminus of the Gyeongbu Line and the Gyeongbu high-speed railway, the most important railway lines in the country which links Busan with Seoul.[1][2][unreliable source?][3] Essentially all trains to Seoul stop in a few settlements between the two cities. It includes an underground station on Busan Metro Line 1, located between Jungang and Choryang stations. The station is located in the center of Choryang-dong (neighborhood) in Dong-gu, Busan.
Description
[edit]
Construction of the new KTX Busan terminal began in 2001 and was completed in 2003. The new station covers 24,646 square meters (265,290 square feet) and it is equipped with up-to-date automatic ticket vending machines, 11 elevators, 10 escalators, PC area, waiting and vending areas.[4] Western shop franchises in the station include a Tom&Tom's, a Subway, and a Weeny Beenie.
The convex front of the structure is made of glass and the station is considered an architecturally significant building.[5]
The main entrance opens up to a large park-like area surrounding the front of the station to the west.[citation needed] To the east is the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal, a ferry terminal with service to ports in Japan. The terminal opened in 2015 to replace an earlier facility.[6]
