These megacities, like others in burgeoning emerging market economies, are magnets for people seeking better opportunities. They also suffer from serious traffic congestion, high levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and heavy air pollution. These urban areas face a stark dilemma: economic expansion attracts more people and vehicles; but the resulting traffic and pollution hinder further growth while reducing the quality of life for their citizens. In spite of rapid growth, urbanization, and motorization, Korea has succeeded so well in expanding the use of public transport that it has stabilized energy consumption per capita in the road sector. In 2010, Korea took aim at a new 10-year goal with its green transport master plan: reduce GHG emissions by one-third while maintaining its competitiveness. To do so, Korea seems poised to create more cutting-edge transport innovations that can serve as models for other countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOBUS TRAVELACCESSIBILITYDRIVING COSTSSUBSIDYTRANSPORTATION INFORMATIONTRENDTRAFFIC FLOWTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMBUS RIDERSRAIL TRANSITTRANSPORT STRATEGYPOLLUTIONTRAINSTOLLSEMISSIONTRIPROADTAXI FARESLANESTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRANSPORT SECTORPASSENGERSNEIGHBORHOODSEMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSROADSMODAL SHAREARTERYRAIL LINESCAR TRAVELAIRPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRIDERSHIPURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYCARSROAD SECTORROUTEMASS TRANSITBUS ROUTEPASSENGER-TRIPTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRAVEL TIMEDRIVERSAUTO USEINTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATIONDIESELTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTUREFARE SYSTEMGAS EMISSIONSRIDERSCOSTS OF TRANSPORTATIONAIRINVESTMENTSAUTOMOBILEBUS SERVICELAND USETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MODEROAD SYSTEMMOTORWAYSURBAN TRANSPORTRAILROADNATIONAL TRANSPORTTRANSPORTATIONDIESEL BUSESLONG-DISTANCEHIGHWAY CONGESTIONSUBWAYTRANSPORTATION PLANNINGTRANSIT SYSTEMFREE TRANSFERTRIPSSUBSIDIESAIR POLLUTIONBUS COMPANYPASSENGER TRIPSTRAVELCONGESTIONCOST OF TRAFFICCONGESTION COSTSBUSTRANSIT IMPROVEMENTTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT STATISTICSTRANSPORTATION POLICIESBUS FARESROUTESAUTOMOBILE PASSENGERLENGTH OF ROADSPUBLIC TRANSITTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRAVEL DISTANCEBUS OPERATIONHIGHWAYENERGY CONSUMPTIONCLIMATE CHANGETRAFFICBUS SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSIT RIDERSHIPROAD TRAFFICCAR DRIVERSRAILELDERLY PEOPLERAIL TRANSPORTACCIDENTSTRANSPORT PLANTRAVELERSDRIVINGRAPID TRANSITNONMOTORIZED TRANSPORTBUSESMASS TRANSIT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSITPUBLIC TRANSPORTMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTHIGH-SPEED RAILBUS STOPSFREE TRANSFERSBUS ROUTESROAD EXPANSIONPOLICIESVEHICLESBUS RIDERSHIPFARESGREENHOUSE GASBUS PASSENGERSHIGHWAY TOLLSCARCITY TRANSPORTATIONTRAFFIC PROBLEMSTRANSIT RIDERSHIPPUBLIC PARKINGBUS DRIVERSEMISSIONSSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTCOSTSAUTOMOBILE USEVOLUME OF TRAFFICTRANSPORTTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSIT RIDERSTRANSPORT NETWORKINFRASTRUCTUREPEDESTRIANCONGESTION COSTROAD CONGESTIONRAILROADSBriefWorld Bank10.1596/23230
