You told me to use public transportation...A 'hell train' subway pile delay.

[Anchor]
The heavy snow was forecast to some extent, so citizens left their cars on the subway at the recommendation of local governments,

However, heavy snow delayed train shipments, causing a series of subway delays and heavy congestion as passengers poured in at once.

Reporter Yoon Tae-in reports.

It's Yeomchang Station on Seoul Subway Line 9 during rush hour.

Passengers are crowded and there is no time to step on.


I'm dizzy if there's an accident.

[Lee Hyungbae / Line 9 passenger: There was no one involved (information), so there was a safety risk.]

The subway on Line 9 was delayed one after another due to the delayed release of the vehicle due to heavy snow.

At one point, the train was late for nearly 10 minutes.

[Lee Hyungbae / Line 9 passenger: The announcement kept coming out, so it's been delayed due to continuous delay and car failure....]

Trains were delayed not only on Line 9, but also on Line 1 to 8.

The Seoul Metropolitan Transportation Corporation belatedly extended its rush hour operation until 9:30 p.m.

Passengers complained that they told them to use public transportation due to heavy snow, and that it became a hell of a train, not a subway.

[Kim Min-kyung / Jingwan-dong, Seoul: It was very hard on my way to work, but there were so many people on the subway, and it was so hard on the way here. The hell season is so bad....]

Dozens of flights were canceled or delayed due to heavy snow, and the sea route was cut off everywhere, causing inconvenience all day.
