The Uijeongbu Light Rail in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, was shut down systemwide for about two and a half hours, leaving passengers inconvenienced.
At about 4 p.m. on the 4th, a train stalled at Tapseok Station on the Uijeongbu line.
Transit staff evacuated riders from the train and worked to restore service; operations resumed at around 6:30 p.m. that day.
The automated, driverless system requires a systemwide halt if a single train becomes disabled on the tracks for safety reasons, officials said.
A Uijeongbu Light Rail representative said the incident stemmed from a mechanical fault on the train itself, not from an operational signal failure.
