Samsung Electronics has introduced a paperless ticket service in collaboration with Korail, the Korea Railroad Corp., starting from Monday. This feature allows users to store mobile train tickets in Samsung Wallet, eliminating the need for physical tickets. The service is the first of its kind, supported by a domestic mobile boarding pass service.
Users can activate the function within their Samsung Wallet app, and once they agree to the terms of service for Samsung Wallet, paying for a Korail ticket at a station ticket window will automatically add the mobile ticket to their Wallet app. Tickets purchased through Korail Plus, an integrated app launched on August 3, can also be added to Samsung Wallet using its "Add to Wallet" feature.
The SRT service, which will be renamed KTX-Sancheon starting September 1, will also allow tickets for SRT/KTX-Sancheon services to be added to Samsung Wallet from September. Samsung Electronics has also enabled refunds for these tickets.
