Public transportation in Seoul faces significant disruptions as city bus drivers initiated a full-scale strike early Wednesday morning. The labor union's decision follows an unsuccessful eight-hour mediation session with management that concluded late Tuesday evening without a resolution. In response to the walkout, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has implemented emergency measures to assist commuters. These contingency plans include the deployment of approximately 1,500 chartered buses to cover affected routes. The strike is expected to impact travel across the capital, prompting officials to urge residents to seek alternative transit options while negotiations remain stalled.
