This adjustment is intended to ensure safe train operations during the period of major maintenance and to minimize inconvenience for citizens.

Major maintenance is a regularly conducted process to maintain the safety and performance of light rail vehicles, involving large-scale work such as disassembling vehicles and replacing key components. As a result, the number of trains available for operation will be limited during the maintenance period, making it unavoidable to partially adjust the train schedule.

According to the new plan, during peak commuting hours (6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.), trains will operate at 4-minute intervals, an increase of 30 seconds from the current 3 minutes and 30 seconds. During off-peak hours (9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.), trains will run at 5 minutes and 30 seconds intervals, 30 seconds shorter than the current 6-minute intervals.

During the schedule adjustment period, the city will focus on ensuring the stability and punctuality of light rail operations. Once major maintenance is completed, the original operating schedule will be restored. In addition, the city will work closely with the light rail operator to conduct regular safety inspections and monitor operations to minimize inconvenience for citizens.

The updated train schedule and station-specific timetables can be found at the light rail customer center and on the official website.

An official from Uijeongbu City stated, "This adjustment to the train operation schedule is an unavoidable measure due to major vehicle maintenance, and we ask for your cooperation so that the maintenance procedures for citizen safety can proceed smoothly."
