Purpose : The purpose of this study is to identify the structural causes of the financial deficit problem that is continuously accumulating by public enterprises in Korea and to suggest practical alternatives to solve it. Research design, data, methodology : This study analyzed the profit structure of domestic public railway corporations and compared and reviewed infrastructure investment cases of foreign public railway corporations. Results : In Japan, more than 30% of profits were generated from subsidiary projects through management diversification strategies such as home sales and the opening of entertainment facilities near the route, and Hong Kong public railroad secured profits from the increase in infrastructure value by directly participating in the development of station areas with active government support. In Singapore, not only public railroads but also buses, taxis, and real estate subsidiaries were comprehensively operated to establish a stable profit structure. Conclusions : It is considered desirable to realize transportation fares, rational adjust welfare policies, and diversify incidental profits through overseas infrastructure investment cases to resolve the financial deficit of domestic public rail companies.
