"Decision to Further Extend Peak Dispatch Hours to Minimize Citizen Inconvenience Due to Overnight Snow Accumulation"

Seoul Metro (President Baek Ho) announced that it has decided to extend the peak dispatch time during the morning commute by one hour to minimize congestion and inconvenience for citizens caused by heavy snowfall over two days.

On the 28th, the peak dispatch time during the morning commute will be extended by one hour from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., compared to the usual schedule.

Initially, the company planned to extend the peak dispatch time by 30 minutes (usual: 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. → extended: 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.), but to support a safer commute, the peak dispatch time will be further extended.

With the one-hour extension of the peak dispatch time, a total of 45 additional trains will operate compared to usual.

Real-time subway operation status can be quickly checked through the Gongtajihacheol app.

Ki Gwang-hwan, Head of Operations at Seoul Metro, said, “We decided to further extend the peak dispatch time to minimize inconvenience during the morning commute caused by heavy snowfall over two days. Since many passengers use public transportation, congestion inside subway stations and trains is expected, so we ask everyone to pay attention to safety.”
