[사회] Snowy road to work … “Increase the number of public transport operations”

[앵커]

I am concerned about my way to work due to the snow that fell overnight.

Seoul City began to increase the number of public transportation operations starting at 7 am to prepare for rush hour.

Connect with reporters on the scene to see what is happening in the morning. Reporter Dayeon Kim!

Please tell me about the situation on the way to work.

Most of the citizens on their last way to work are hastening their steps.

There is no snow on the road, so vehicle traffic is fluid.

However, you do need to be careful about slip accidents, as nighttime snow creates icy paths all the way.

The city of Seoul increased the number of public transport services this morning, fearing confusion on the way to work.

From 7 am to 9:30 am, metro operations increased 36 times more than usual and the intensive bus dispatch time was extended by 30 minutes.

At night, there was 4.3 cm of snow in Seoul, 11.1 cm in Paju and 6.4 cm in Suwon.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government yesterday issued the second stage of snow removal, mobilizing 9,000 people and 1,000 units of equipment, and began work on emergency work such as snow removal.

Furthermore, in preparation for traffic congestion, the traffic police have also been deployed in 220 vulnerable locations such as hills, curves and bridge ramps.

There were no traffic disruptions or major accidents that worried me, but due to heavy snowfall for a short time, in Jongno-gu, Seoul, there was an accident where a vehicle rolled over in the snow.

The heavy snow warning issued yesterday in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas was lifted as of this dawn and there was no disturbance on the way to work because the snow had already stopped.

However, in the case of roads in the rear or outside the city center, there is a high possibility of freezing, so you should pay attention to driving safely on your way to work.

I am YTN Dayeon Kim at Seoul Station.
