Korail Strike Causes Enormous Inconvenience to Commuters

Commuters have a hard time getting themselves out of the train packed with passengers at Shindorim Station in Seoul Thursday morning as the operation of Subway Line No. 1 was delayed due to an on-going strike by Korean rail workers. The operation of trains in the Seoul metropolitan area as of noon Thursday stood at only 56% of the regular level, with Gyeongin Line at 43%, KTX at 39%, passenger trains at 19% and cargo trains at 15%.
