Busan Gimhae Light Rail Transit, No Boarding Allowed Without Mask

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Busan Gimhae Light Rail Transit announced that starting from the 27th, it will restrict the use of the light rail for passengers not wearing masks in order to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Previously, the light rail, together with Busan City and Gimhae City, had actively promoted mask-wearing, but this decision was made in accordance with the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters' "Strengthening Quarantine Measures in the Transportation Sector."

To this end, station staff will strengthen patrol inspections at gates and inside trains, and will guide and encourage mask-wearing. Passengers who refuse to wear masks will be subject to boarding and usage restrictions.

For the convenience of passengers who forgot to bring masks when boarding the light rail, the number of sales points will be increased by selling masks at stores such as convenience stores within the stations.

A Busan Gimhae Light Rail official stated, "As the weather is getting hotter recently and students have started attending school, we cannot let our guard down. We ask for the active cooperation of passengers."
