Seoul set for urban rail expansion

摘要

THIS September, Korea's capital will open its first light metro line in the northern area of Seoul, connecting the Ui-dong area with the more centrally located Sinseol-dong. Named the Ui Line, the new route which uses a steel-wheel AGT system, is 11.4km long and has 13 stations. Residents who live far from current metro stations will soon have a more efficient transport system that will reduce commuting times and crowding on other lines.
