These efforts are aimed at raising citizen awareness and promoting practical campaigns for the establishment of a safety culture throughout the entire urban railroad system.

On this day, related organizations including Korea Railroad Corporation, SR Co., Ltd., National Railroad Authority, Dong-gu District Office, Busan Facilities Corporation, Korea Transportation Safety Authority, and the Railroad Judicial Police participated in the campaign, uniting in their commitment to spreading a culture of safety in urban railroads.

The participating organizations provided focused guidance to citizens on urban railroad safety rules, such as: △watching out for platform gaps when boarding or disembarking △not getting hands or belongings caught in train doors △not rushing onto trains; and, when using escalators, △firmly holding the handrail △not walking or running △boarding within the yellow safety line △using elevators when carrying carts or walkers.

The corporation plans to continue strengthening cooperation with related organizations and conducting ongoing safety culture campaigns to prevent accidents that may occur while using urban railroads and to promote proper public transportation etiquette.
