Bus union starts partial strike, Seoul city government to run free shuttles
Major commuter chaos is expected as the Seoul Bus Labor Union began its partial strike on Wednesday morning starting at 4 a.m.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government asked commuters to take alternative transportation and district governments are handing out information on free shuttles in high-traffic commuter areas.
Seoul Metro will increase subway service from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 47 additional trains will run from subway Lines No. 1 through 8.
“We will work to minimize public inconvenience in any way possible,” the city government said.
