A subway malfunction on the Bundang Line affected 25 subsequent trains, snagging Seoul and Gyeonggi Province commuters on their way to work on Wednesday morning.
A subway train halted operations at Moran Station on the Bundang Line at around 8:20 a.m. due to an unidentified glitch. This led to the subsequent disruption of the next 25 trains departing from Wangsimni Station.

The Bundang Line connects Seoul’s Wangsimni Station and Gyeonggi Province’s Suwon city, a major route for the long-distance commuters.
Passengers were advised to disembark from the trains and use alternative transportation. Some 1,800 passengers were affected, according to Korea Railroad Corp.
Korail resumed its services 50 minutes later, after removing the problematic train from Moran Station at around 9:15 a.m.
