History

• June 26, 2009: Construction begins. The price of building the line was 2 trillion KRW.
• Early 2016: Trial runs begin.
• July 30, 2016: The line opens, after seven years of construction.^[2][3]

Line 2 was planned to open in August 2014,^[4] but the opening date was pushed back to July 30, 2016.

Rolling stock and signaling

The ITC Line2 is a driverless, fully automatic subway system. The line uses 37 two-car trains, all of which were built in 2013 by Hyundai Rotem, a member of Hyundai Motor Group.^[4][5] They are similar to the Canada Line cars in Vancouver, Canada, albeit using the narrow light metro body (2.65 m (8 ft 8 in)) and external sliding doors as opposed to the heavy metro wide body 3 m (9 ft 10 in) and pocket doors, and using a bottom contact third rail instead of the North American top contact.

Currently, all stations are long enough to fit four-car trains (two sets mated together); however, current operations use two-car trains (one set per train).

SelTrac CBTC is currently being implemented on the line by Thales, along with an urban rail traffic management system; these systems will allow the trains to be driverless.^[2]
