About 20 members of the Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination staged a surprise 'bus-boarding' protest at the Gwanghwamun Station intersection in central Seoul at 8:10 a.m. on Friday. Wheelchair-bound activists attempted to board city buses, demanding a new bill to guarantee mobility rights for disabled people and the expansion of low-floor buses. The action caused partial road closures and severe traffic congestion.
