The
City of Busan is making every effort to support the 35,724 students who will be
taking the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) on November 17. Students are
scheduled to take the exam from 8:40 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. in 59 high schools
across Busan. All those taking the test must enter their appointed classrooms
by 8:10 a.m. on the day of the exam.
On
the day of the exam, the city will operate buses and village/neighborhood buses
more often between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., especially for the bus routes on the 59
test sites.
The
bus-only lane system will be suspended from 7 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and the self car-free
day program will be temporarily stopped on the day of the test. The Busan
Metropolitan Fire & Safety Headquarters will offer rides to handicapped
students requiring assistance getting to their test locations.
Workers
at government offices, public agencies, financial firms, schools and companies
with more than 50 employees will be allowed to arrive at work by 10 a.m., an
hour later than usual. The city hopes to curb early morning traffic congestion
to allow students to get to their exams on time.
Construction work near test sites will also be restricted to reduce noise and interference for students taking their foreign language listening and speaking tests, which will start at 1:07 p. m. and last until 1:35 p.m.
