Guests Returning After Holiday… Seoul Station Busier Than Usual
Only window seats are used due to infection issues
3.38 Million People Expected To Move Today … ‘Lower’ During Chuseok Holidays
[앵커]
On the last day of Chuseok holidays, family members who have been reunited after a long time and returnees who promised to be next are arriving in Seoul one by one. It is said that the heart of the heart from home is the same, but this Chuseok return is not as crowded as usual. 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? After the five-day vacation, they return to Seoul one by one with luggage packages and gift boxes from their hometown. This year, it is not as crowded as usual in Chuseok due to the crown. Due to concerns about the spread of the infection, the number of passengers has been cut in half as there are only seats available by the window, and there are many visitors returning and moving in advance, and today the estimated number passengers is 3.38 million, the minimum during the Christmas season. Still, the facial expressions of returnees who have been reunited with their families after a long time due to the crown looked bright. Let’s hear the story. Due to the large number of citizens who booked in advance, most of the train tickets to and from the main stations were sold out except for the last few hours. As of noon today, the ascending reserve rate is 92%. The Gyeongbu and Honam lines registered 94% and the Jeolla line 99%. This time, it was difficult to buy a ticket on the site because there was no place 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 has decreased more than in previous years. At noon today, the overall booking rate for upward flights was 53%, for departing buses 76%, for Gwangju 57% and for Gangneung 51%. There are passengers who buy tickets late, so the usage rate gradually increases. 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.
