Daejeon Metro is the rapid transit system of Daejeon, South Korea, operated by the Daejeon Metropolitan Express Transit Corporation (DjeT, or Daejeon Metro). The subway network first opened in 2006 with 12 stations. Now, it consists of one line, 22 operating stations, and 22.6 kilometres of tracks.
The first section of line 1 was opened on March 16, 2006, the second on April 17, 2007. The track leads 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.[1][1]
There have been plans to build line 2 as a magnetic levitation train similar to the German M-Bahn or the Japanese HSST.[2] The current technical design, however, is not open to the public.[1][1]
