I hate taking the bus. It's about time! Story in the AP:
SEOUL — South Korea Tuesday officially opened a railway linking its main international airport at Incheon to central Seol almost 10 years after the airport itself began operations.
The 58-km (36 mile) line linking Seoul station and the airport will start taking passengers from Wednesday, the transport ministry said.
Work on the 4.2-trillion-won (3.6 billion dollar) project began in April 2001, a month after the airport opened.
The first section between Incheon airport and Gimpo airport on the western outskirts of Seoul was completed in March 2007.
The 20.7-km section between Gimpo and Seoul station was formally opened Tuesday after a tape-cutting ceremony chaired by Prime Minister Kim Hwang-Sik.
Express trains will take 43 minutes and charge 13,300 won (about USD 12) while normal ones will take 10 minutes longer for a fare of 3,700 won.
The route is currently served by airport buses, which take at least one hour and charge around 15,000 won.
Railway passengers will be able to check in and deposit luggage at a terminal on the second floor of Seoul station.
A transport ministry official said delays to the airport railway were mainly due to budget problems, with more money than expected needed for tunnels or buying land.
The ministry plans to connect bullet trains with the airport railway by the end of 2012 so that passengers can travel from the southern port of Busan to Incheon airport in two hours and 40 minutes.
Incheon, which replaced Gimpo as the country's main airport, has won several international awards.It will be cheaper and take less time to take the train than to take the bus from downtown Seoul. Perfect!

I am glad to discuss my own particular condition of Bihar. The more I look into this express, the more I experience passionate feelings for it. The historical backdrop of this incredible state to Bihar is basically the historical backdrop of aged India. Its capital, Patna (old Patliputra) constructed by Ajatashatru in 490 B.c. as a little fortification later turned into the capital of Magadha that extended from Eastern India to Afghanistan. It was from here that the powerful Indian realms, for example, the Nandas, Mauryans, Sungas, Guptas and Palas utilized Patliputra as their capital. Amid the rule of acclaimed Indian lord called "Ashoka the Great", the city turned into one of the greatest urban areas of the world. It was the Afghan ruler, Sher Shah Suri who made Patliputra the capital of his realm and transformed its name to what is called "Patna" today.Just you visit on this website and got research paper writing help lot of info .
