Delays have been reported across the entire Ui-Sinseol light rail line, prompting reactions from commuters.


Commuters expressed their concerns, stating, "When there are delays during rush hour, I start to worry about being late," and "I need to know how long I have to wait so I can decide whether to take the bus or find another route." Others simply remarked, "This is going to make me late."


According to Yonhap News, starting around 6 a.m. on November 5, train operations on the Ui-Sinseol light rail line were delayed, causing inconvenience for morning commuters.


The delays were attributed to a malfunction in the electronic interlocking system during the process of releasing trains from the depot, resulting in longer intervals between train services.


The Ui-Sinseol Urban Railroad authorities are currently working to identify the exact cause of the malfunction while undertaking recovery efforts.
