[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Transit Corporation announced on the 25th that it has additionally installed 'Safe Zones' at Ganseok Ogeori Station and Seonhak Station on Incheon Subway Line 1.

The Safe Zone is part of Incheon City's 'Plan to Create a City Friendly to Four Vulnerable Groups' and was promoted to prevent incidents and accidents occurring in subway stations and trains. It refers to a safety area established near the emergency phone on the platform where passengers who feel danger inside the station or train can urgently evacuate.

After piloting Safe Zones at Dongsu Station and Bupyeong Samgeori Station in April last year with positive customer feedback, the corporation decided to additionally install them at two more stations selected based on the surrounding conditions of the station areas this year.

The Safe Zone features a safety line on the platform floor the size of one train car and has higher illumination than other areas, making it relatively brighter. In an emergency, pressing the call button on the emergency phone immediately dispatches staff.

An official from Incheon Transit Corporation stated, "From 11 p.m. until the last train operation ends, social service personnel will be concentrated for patrol activities, and CCTV monitoring focused on the Safe Zones will also be conducted."
