It is lunchtime on the last day of the Chuseok holiday, and returnees departing from train stations and bus terminals across the country are arriving in Seoul one by one. Still, it is said that this Chuseok is not the same as in previous years due to Corona 19. Let’s look at the situation by connecting journalists at Seoul station. Reporter Jung Hyun-woo! Seoul Station, where reporter Jung is, is the place most visited by returnees. How is the atmosphere now? Visitors returning after the five-day holiday season can be seen here at Seoul Station. When trains departing from each region arrived in the early hours, Seoul station here also began to come to life. Still, this year, due to Corona 19, it is not as crowded as usual in Chuseok. Due to concerns about the spread of the infection, the number of passengers has been cut in half as only the window seats are available, and there are many returning visitors who have moved in early, and today the number Estimated passenger is 3.38 million, the minimum during the Christmas season. Today, KORAIL plans to operate just 170,000 seats, half of the 330,000 seats. Due to the large number of citizens who booked in advance, train tickets to and from the main stations are mostly sold out, except in the last hours. At 8 o’clock this morning, the ascending reserve rate is 91%. The Gyeongbu and Honam lines registered 93% and the Jeolla line 98%. This time, it was difficult to buy a ticket on the spot because there was no stand due to infection issues. If you have not booked a ticket in advance, you should first check if there are seats available on the internet or use other means of transport before arriving at the station. The number of return visitors using express buses decreased significantly compared to the previous year. At 10 o’clock this morning, the overall booking rate for upstream flights was 52%, for departing buses 78%, for Gwangju 55% and for Gangneung 50%. There are passengers who make reservations late, so the usage rate is gradually increasing. Returnees using buses and trains must comply with quarantine rules. First of all, you must wear a mask at all times when using the train, in addition to taking a fever test and disinfecting your hands before entering the platform. As mentioned above, standing seats are not allowed and only window seats are available. There seems to be no need to prepare snacks, as eating and drinking are prohibited on trains and buses. It goes without saying that bus passengers should also continue to wear masks and sit as far apart as possible. I wish you a safe way to return home after meeting your family, following the quarantine rules thoroughly until the very end.
