A woman waits for the bus inside a glass-covered stop in which a thermal imaging camera, UV sterilizer, air conditioner, CCTV and digital signage are set, to avoid the spread of COVID-19 in Seoul, South Korea, August 14, 2020.The Seoul Bus Labor Union and their employers agreed to a 4.48% wage hike after negotiations, Seoul’s city government said, with public transport operations returning to normal right after the deal was agreed. The unions had originally asked for an almost 13% wage increase.

Buses in Seoul are operated on a quasi-public system in which private companies manage the buses while it’s heavily subsidised and regulated by Seoul’s city government to ensure accessibility of services. Oh Jeong-hui, a 25-year-old from Seoul, said she had left home early after hearing about the strike. “Normally it would take 15 minutes by bus but I took the subway and had to transfer which took around 30 minutes,” she said.
