Premium express buses will offer services on par with business-class plane seats. The new buses will be equipped with comfortable seats that can recline by up to 160 degrees, allowing passengers to lie down and relax without inconveniencing those behind them. Premium buses will have seven fewer seats than the current first-class buses, which means more space for passengers. Each seat has a neck support cushion, an individual monitor for watching TV and movies, and a mobile phone charger. Premium bus tickets will cost 30 percent more than those for first-class buses, but less than the KTX bullet train services.

[Soundbite] Choi Jeong-ho(Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure & Transport) : "Premium buses will first operate on long-haul routes and during nighttime."

Premium express buses will debut on September 12 starting with two routes - one between Seoul and Busan and the other between Seoul and Gwangju.
