The Korea Railroad Corporation(KORAIL) has cut back operations of sections of the Seoul subway system it manages as unionized workers of Seoul Metro launched a strike that began at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

KORAIL said the two sections it operates on Line Number One will run at around 93 percent of normal levels on weekdays and at 95 percent on weekends.

As for a section it operates on Line Number Three, KORAIL plans to maintain operations at 72 percent of normal levels on weekdays and roughly 65 percent on weekends.

A section on Line Number Four run by KORAIL will see operations at nearly 87 percent of normal levels during the week and nearly 83 percent on weekends.

A KORAIL official advised the public to use other means of transportation if they are in a hurry as the train timetables are expected to see delays due to the strike.
