Before you go to work today (13th), you must listen to this news and go out. Starting today, it is mandatory to wear a mask during times of crowded passengers like commuting on the Seoul Subway. If you don't wear a mask, it won't let you go through the turnstile itself.

After the streets were put in life last week, citizens without masks can be easily found on the subway.

[Citizen without mask: Because of lipstick, I'm carrying a (mask) to meet someone. I'm carrying it, but I'm afraid I'll get lipstick ... .]

[Citizen without mask: Now I was wearing a mask and I took my breath off. I'm carrying it.]

However, things are different from today.

The city of Seoul decided to oblige the passengers to wear a mask when the congestion reached 150% of the crowd of the electric car.

In this case, an announcement requesting the wearing of a mask is issued, and passengers without a mask are restricted from entering the subway ticket gates.

Masks are available at commercial prices at convenience stores and vending machines in history.

When the congestion that is too crowded to reach the arm reaches 170%, the electric vehicle passes through the station without stopping and restricts additional boarding.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to increase the number of trains on subway lines 2, 4, and 7 where people are particularly crowded during rush hours.

In the case of buses, we plan to adjust the allocation intervals flexibly or minimize the congestion by adding spare vehicles.
