Emergency Transportation Measures Prepared by Seongbuk-gu in Preparation for Subway Strike

[Seoul District News] Seongbuk-gu to Maintain Close Cooperation with Related Agencies in Step with Seoul City on the 30th & Plan to Extend Village Bus Last Service by 1 Hour

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) announced that it has prepared an emergency transportation plan to minimize inconvenience to citizens as the Seoul subway will go on strike starting from the 30th.

Seongbuk-gu is an area where subway lines 1, 4, and 6 pass through, and once the strike begins, the disruption in subway operations could fully impact the citizens. To prevent this, the district will carry out emergency measures in coordination with Seoul City's emergency transportation plan, maintaining close cooperation with related organizations such as Seoul Metro, Korail, the bus industry, and the police, depending on the situation.

During the strike, according to Seoul City's phased emergency transportation plan, subways will operate normally during rush hours at usual levels, but the operation rate during non-peak hours will be lower than usual.

Accordingly, the district plans to continuously monitor the status of subway stations, check traffic conditions at key points, and take on-site measures to minimize traffic congestion.

Meanwhile, if the strike prolongs and upon Seoul City's request, the district plans to extend the last bus times of village buses by one hour. The last bus times of the currently operating 19 routes will be extended by one hour, and the number of runs will be increased compared to usual.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “We will do our best at the district level to reduce inconvenience to citizens.”
