Daegu Subway Line 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daegu Subway Line 1 was, until mid-2005, the only subway line in the South Korean city of Daegu. It is operated by the Daegu Metropolitan Subway Corporation.
The line first began running from Jincheon to Jungangno on November 26, 1997. The section from Jungnangno to Ansim was opened shortly thereafter, on May 2, 1998. The west end of the line was extended from Jincheon to Daegok, reaching its current length on May 10, 2002. However, service on the entire line was stopped for several months in 2003 following the Daegu subway fire.
Line 1's 25.9 kilometer course lies entirely within the metropolitan city of Daegu, although proposals have been made to extend it into the neighboring city of Gyeongsan. Trains currently run 332 times per day during the week, and 306 times on the weekend. It takes 50 minutes and 30 seconds to go from one end to the other. [1] .
