Background

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

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

History
  • March 1999: Trial runs begin.
  • October 6, 1999: The line opens from Bakchon to Dongmak, after six years of construction.
  • December 7, 1999: A northern extension from Bakchon to Gyulhyeon opens.
  • March 16, 2007: Another northern extension from Gyulhyeon to Gyeyang opens, connecting with the Airport Railroad
  • June 1, 2009: A southern extension from Dongmak to International Business District opens.
  • December 12, 2020: One stop extension to Songdo Moonlight Festival Park opens.

Future plans

A northward 3-station extension of the line is proposed to provide transportation to the developing Geomdan New City. Construction began in November 2020[3] and is expected to be completed no earlier than 2024.[4]

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.
