Starting today, if you don’t wear a mask when there are many people who like to travel, the use of the Seoul subway is restricted.
If the level of congestion rises above the standard, you will not be able to board the train or go through the ticket gates, and you will be able to pass without stopping.
We connect with reporters who are in the field. Reporter, Deputy Director!
[기자]Yes, now I am at Wangsimni metro station.
This is a transit station with 4 lines, including lines 2 and 5, the Bundang line, and the Gyeongui Jungang line, making it a popular destination in Seoul.
As we enter rush hour, the number of passengers increases.
He wears a mask and waits for the train.
Starting today, if you don’t wear a mask like this, the Seoul subway may be restricted.
Based on the ‘degree of congestion’ calculated by the number of passengers compared to the number of passengers, it is divided into four stages: ‘free’, ‘normal’, ‘caution’ and ‘congestion’.
Firstly, passengers without masks cannot travel in the ‘congestion stage’, where it is difficult to move inside the train because there are more than 50% of the passengers.
If you do not have a mask, it is impossible to enter from the front door.
Right now, you can buy a mask at a commercial price from vending machines or convenience stores in history.
In particular, if the level of congestion is greater than 170%, the guide will control the boarding and will allow the bus to pass without stopping.
Furthermore, security guards will be deployed at major stations such as Gangnam, Hongik University and Sindorim starting next month to maintain the safety distance between passengers.
[앵커]The level of congestion seems to be different for each time zone or metro, is there a way to find out in advance?
[기자]Yes, the Seoul Transportation Corporation started a “preliminary forecast” from yesterday so that passengers can know the level of congestion in advance.
You can check the congestion level information at 6 p.m. every day the next day through the website of the Seoul Transportation Corporation and SNS.
Yesterday I went to the home page, but I could see the congestion by history and time.
The section with the highest congestion as of today’s peak hour is the distribution section on line 2 of the Sadang subway, which is 143.4%.
Also, the level of congestion on Nakseongdae from line 2 to Seocho and from Chungseong-ro to Hanseong University on line 4 will be high.
If you have not yet left the house, do not forget to prepare the mask.
