Quick Glance: Seoul Bus Drivers' Strike Causes Morning Commute Delays
- On Thursday, unionized bus drivers in Seoul went on a general strike to demand a wage hike, resulting in the near complete halt of bus operations in the capital and leading to delays for commuters during the morning rush hour.
- Following unsuccessful last-minute wage negotiations, the union with approximately 18,000 members at 65 companies proceeded with their threatened strike, impacting 7,210 intracity buses, constituting 97.6 percent of the capital's bus services.
- This general strike, the first since 2012, brought about significant inconveniences for passengers during the morning rush hour, causing delays in travel times for commuters and catching uninformed passengers off guard.
- To alleviate passenger inconveniences, the city government ramped up subway operations for the morning and evening rush hours and extended the subway operating hours until 2 a.m.
