PyeongChang, January 24 The Go PyeongChang app is now live and ready to help

you navigate your way around the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter

Games. The exclusive Olympic transport app provides customised information for

international visitors who may not be used to navigating the public transport systems

in Korea.

The app is available in four languages Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese to

make it very easy and convenient to use. Depending on whether you are a spectator,

member of the media or another user you can customise Go PyeongChang to your

needs and requirements (for example media can access media transport schedules

through the App.).

Users can compare the costs and travel times of different modes and routes of

transport from different service providers including high-speed train, shuttle buses,

express and intercity buses, subway, city bus, car sharing and taxis. You can then

book and pay for your selected transportation directly on the app.

Available on iOS and Android, the app is expected to minimise the use of personal cars

during the Games to ease traffic; provide a connected transport system that will

meet the huge demand; be easy to navigate and help create a green Games.
