SEOUL, March 26 (AJP) -From “mind the gap” practice to a glimpse inside the driver’s cabin, elementary students stepped into the world of urban rail operations during a hands-on safety program in Incheon. 

Students from Gyulhyeon Elementary School explored an electric train during a safety experience program at the Gyulhyeon Depot in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, on March 25. 

Hosted by Incheon Transit Corporation, the program gave 23 students hands-on exposure to urban railway operations, including a tour of the driver’s cabin and train interiors. They also visited key depot facilities while learning essential rail safety rules and emergency response procedures.

The on-site experience offered a close-up look at how the system runs, helping students better understand urban railways and the importance of safety.
