are delayed.
There is a YTN reporter at Yeomchang Station in Seoul. Reporter YOO JI HYUN!

I think there will be a lot of citizens who use the subway during rush hour today, so please tell me how the subway is now.
[Reporter]
The reporters have been here for about two hours.
Here at Yeomchang Station, citizens who go to work continue to visit.
Right now, the platform is empty because the train just left.
There were many people who went to work a little early due to the heavy snow that fell overnight.
I met a citizen going to work in person.
[Kwon Nam-gyu / Yeomchang-dong, Seoul: We are going to work at the entrance of Euljiro. It usually takes about 50 minutes. I was too late yesterday. I think I came out about 10 minutes earlier today.]
In the meantime, some trains, such as the Subodang Line and National Railroad Line 1, have been delayed by about 20 minutes due to heavy snow.
Korail explained that the electric train, which had been waiting on the track and vehicle base since early morning, accumulated snow and delayed its operation in the process of snow removal.
In addition, he said he has completed snow removal work now, adding that delays will be resolved sequentially.
Korail plans to operate 13 more trains in preparation for congestion during rush hour.
Line 1, Suinbundang Line 3, Gyeongui Jungang Line 2, Gyeongchun Line 1, and Gyeonggang Line 1.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has also increased public transportation during rush hour to reduce inconvenience to citizens.
According to the Seoul Transportation Corporation, the centralized dispatch time for subways from lines 1 to 8 was increased by 30 minutes from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the train was delayed during rush hour due to heavy snow at the Gaehwa Station vehicle base on Line 9.
It's snowing a lot today, so if you're going to move, it's better to leave a little early.
So far, I'm YTN YOSHIHYUN at Yeomchang Station in Seoul.
