Construction of the line started in February 2006, and after repeated delays, it was set to open on July 29, 2011; however, opening of the line was once postponed indefinitely due to noise abatement issues. The line finally opened on September 9, 2011[3] with one week of free service; revenue service began on September 17, 2011.


The line has a length of 23.9 kilometers (14.9 mi)[2] with 21 stations,[1] and a design capacity of 176,000 passengers per day.[4]




The line is a joint venture between POSCO and Hyundai Rotem, and has a budget of 9,738 billion won.[4] The line is fully automated and uses standard gauge.[5]
