Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 4th that since last month, they have been operating a ‘Cold Wave Reduction 3-Piece Set’ including smart shelters, heated chairs, and windbreaks at roadside bus stops to help citizens waiting for buses escape the cold.

The smart shelters are equipped with heating and cooling systems, CCTV, district administration information boards, fine dust sensors, air purification sterilizers, wireless chargers, and automatic doors. Six were installed for the first time this winter and operate year-round daily from 4 a.m. to midnight.

Heated chairs have been installed at 44 locations within Seodaemun-gu. When the outside temperature drops below 18 degrees Celsius, the power automatically turns on, raising the chair surface temperature to 38 degrees Celsius. The district announced plans to add more heated chairs within this month by accelerating procurement in response to residents’ demands.

Windbreaks have been installed at 53 locations. Unlike tent-type structures, these are attached to the bus boarding areas, so they do not occupy additional road space and interfere less with pedestrian traffic. These facilities will be flexibly removed when temperatures rise after March.
