Daejeon Subway Line 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daejeon Subway Line 1 is a subway line in Daejeon, South Korea. It is 22.6 km (14 mi) long with 22 stations. It is the first of five planned lines for the Daejeon Metropolitan Subway.[1]

First section was opened on March 16, 2006, second on April 17, 2007. Line track is from Banseok Station in Yuseong-gu to Panam Station in Dong-gu.

The construction of a line 2 was planned to begin in 2008, but is delayed because Government funding has been diverted to other projects.[2][3]

There have been plans to build line 2 as a Magnetic Levitation train similar to the German M-Bahn or the Japanese HSST.[4] The current technical design, however, is not open to the public.[2][3]
