Common card · No. 420208

The Mugunghwa-ho (Korean: 무궁화호) is a class of train operated by Korail, the main railway operator of South Korea. Mugunghwa trains are Korail's slowest tier of trains stopping at a number of towns and villages, and operating over a number of lines that are not served by other trains. Journey times are generally twice that of KTX trains and 25% longer than ITX express trains. Along rural lines such as the Gyeongbuk Line, The Mugunghwa-ho remains the only class of passenger train operating. They are the only trains to stop at many stations not served by Saemaeul-ho or KTX trains. Mugunghwa trains are built to accommodate large numbers of standing passengers, and frequently have many more standees than sitting passengers during high season.
