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]
People waiting for the train to work are filling the platform.

People are waiting for the train not only on the platform but also on the stairs.

The Suinbundang Line train passing through Wangsimni Station here is delayed for about 20 minutes due to heavy snow.

Passengers who don't have time are being informed to use other transportation.

Police and firefighters are also maintaining order in history to prevent accidents from occurring due to large crowds.

Let's listen to the citizens on their way to work.

[Kim Yong-chan / Gileum-dong, Seoul: I came out about 30 minutes earlier than usual, but I'm worried that I'll be a little late because I'm blocked from the stairs coming up.]

Korail explained that snow accumulated on the electric train that had been waiting on the track and at the vehicle base since early morning and delayed the operation in the process of snow removal,

All snow removal work will be completed around 8:30, and delays will be resolved sequentially, it added.

In addition, Korail plans to operate 13 additional 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 also increased public transportation during rush hour to reduce citizens' inconvenience.

The Seoul Transportation Corporation increased the concentrated subway dispatch time from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. from Line 1 to Line 8 by 30 minutes.

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.

I'm YTN Lim Yejin at Wangsimni Station in Seoul.
