Seoul deals with a bus strike, waste reduction efforts, and a major fire

Seoul, South Korea, has been dealing with several local issues. A two-day bus strike began, causing the city to extend subway hours, before the strike ended and service resumed.

Separately, the city is implementing a 'waste diet' program to reduce trash, and firefighters battled a large blaze in one of Seoul's last informal settlements. In a related national policy, the government is sending medical students to schools outside Seoul, requiring them to work in those regions for ten years after graduation.
