As it snows again in the central part of the country overnight, there is concern about congestion during rush hour today.

Additional metropolitan trains and buses are being used for now, but some sections are already disrupted.

There is a YTN reporter in Yeouido, Seoul. Reporter Na Hye-in!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is Yeouido Station in Seoul.

Is it snowing a lot there too?

[Reporter]
Yes, similar to an hour ago, it's snowing so much that it's uncomfortable to see ahead if you don't use an umbrella.

As we enter the full-fledged rush hour, we see many citizens going to work by subway or bus, but there is a lot of thin ice in India now.

In particular, it gets tangled with fallen leaves, so it is easy to fall.

Even if you use public transportation, you should be careful when walking to work.

Currently, major highways in Seoul have relatively good snow removal.

However, it is not easy for the vehicle to speed up because the snow still remains on the city road even though it melts.

In northern Seoul, steep downtown roads such as Bukaksan-gil, Inwangsan-gil, and Samcheong-ro have been closed since yesterday.

In Gangnam, the control was lifted after snow removal work was completed except for some sections of Heukseok-ro near Chung-Ang University.

The city is adding additional subways and buses during rush hour.

However, KORAIL just announced that some trains on the Suin Bundang Line are not running or delayed due to heavy snow.

Congestion on the way to work seems inevitable again today.

It snowed a lot in southern Gyeonggi Province, right?

[Reporter]
The southern part of Gyeonggi Province is worse than Seoul.

There were a series of reports that the snow removal was not properly carried out due to the heavy snow falling at once overnight.

Local governments have tried to clear the snow overnight by mobilizing available equipment as much as possible, but many places still lack touch.There was a situation where it was impossible to drive a vehicle beyond the slow level, regardless of whether it was on the

highway or city road, and there were reports that it took two hours to get to the 1km car.

Some viewers said they were worried about the safety of children because the same was true of the school route around the school.

Even now, there are many places where road traffic is not easy.

Heavy snow warnings are still in place in the central region, including the metropolitan area.

Please pay attention to safety while checking road conditions and traffic information in real time when moving.

So far, I'm Na Hye-in from YTN Yeouido Station in Seoul.
