Background

Incheon's Line 1 makes Incheon the fourth city in Korea with a subway system in South Korea, after Seoul, Busan, and Daegu.

A trip along the line from Gyeyang in the north to Int'l Business District in the south takes approximately 57 minutes. From Bakchon station to International Business District station, the line is underground.

Future plans

Another southward extension of the line is proposed to provide transportation to Songdo Landmark City. The extension will be 0.84 kilometers (0.52 mi) long and is planned to open in 2018.[3]

Another northward extension of the line is proposed to provide transportation to the developing Geomdan New City. No opening time has been announced.

Rolling Stock

The line uses 34 8-car trains. The first 25 trains were built between 1998 and 1999 by Daewoo Heavy Industries and Rotem, while the last 9 trains were built between 2007 and 2008 by Hyundai Rotem to provide trains following the extension of the line.
