Yes, you can see passengers waiting for the train behind me.

After working hours, it got packed with people, and after the restaurants closed, they gradually became overcrowded.

As you said, the number of subway operations in Seoul has decreased by 30% since 9pm a little while ago.

On the 5th, the Seoul city bus began to shorten after 9 p.m. and expanded to the subway.

Using public transportation is expected to be more difficult than usual.

As a result of the increased distance to the metropolitan area, it will be implemented for two weeks until the 18th.

In addition to Seoul, the number of subway operations has decreased by 30% from 9 p.m. as of today.

As such, residents of Seoul or Incheon and citizens who commute to the metropolitan area should be aware of this.

The number of buses from Seoul Subway Line 2 to Line 8 after 9 p.m. is said to decrease from 128 to 113.

However, lines 3, 4, 6 and 7 will begin to reduce operations as of this Friday, and line 5 will be excluded from the reduction to stabilize the operations of the Hanam line.

The last train schedule is until midnight, same as now.

However, the possibility of change still exists because the Seoul Metropolitan Government said that the last train schedule can be withdrawn for an hour from midnight to 11 pm in an emergency.

The purpose of this measure is to minimize unnecessary movement of citizens and induce an early return home.

In particular, as it is the end of the year, where there are many meetings and appointments, the city of Seoul predicted that reducing night traffic on public transport would be effective.

Citizens in general responded positively, but there were also some concerns.

This is because if public transportation service slows down after 9pm, people can be crowded at work.

However, the city of Seoul has already reduced bus and subway operations by 20% since 10:00 p.m. last month, but was wary of excessive concerns and said the degree of congestion during working hours did not increase. significantly.

In fact, in Seoul, the time for the last subway train in April was brought forward an hour to midnight.

After 11 p.m. M., The number of users decreased dramatically by 17.3%, and from 8 p. M. At 10 p. M., The number of users was found to be only about 3% per hour.

Seo Jeong-hyup, Acting Mayor of Seoul, said in an interview with YTN radio yesterday (7) that he will continue to check the congestion level by time and operate flexibly.

However, due to the nature of the job, workers who go to work at night are sure to experience inconvenience.

Even if it’s a little awkward, the city of Seoul appealed that citizens desperately need to unite to overcome Crown 19.
