- 5 years ago
Seoul City is increasing the number of carriages on its trains on subway line nine.
The local government on Monday added two more compartments to its 25 all-stop trains, bringing their total number of carriages to six.
They are also increasing the number of trains in operation from the current 37 to 40 trains.
Line nine has been dubbed the 'hell train' due to its high levels of congestion, but the local government says the extra carriages will lower congestion to one hundred-and-15 percent, down six percent, or about 10 people per carriage, from the current levels.
