History
After the city's administrative district was expanded in 1995, plans were announced in February 1996 for a five-line metro service totaling 102.3 kilometres (63.6 mi). Construction of Line 1 began in October 1996 and was scheduled to be completed by 2003, but completion was delayed by right-of-way acquisition and constrained finances in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[2]

Line 1
Line 1 was initially designed to be 22.6 kilometres (14.0 mi) long, connecting the old and new town centers.[2] It opened in two phases and a third is planned:
- 16 March 2006: Line 1 Phase 1 opened (Panam ↔ Government Complex)
- 17 April 2007: Line 1 Phase 2 complete, fully opened (Panam ↔ Banseok)
- 2029: Tentative opening date of extension from Banseok to Government Complex Sejong[3]
The track leads from Banseok Station in Yuseong-gu to Panam Station in Dong-gu.
Line 2
Line 2 has gone through a number of changes and proposals over the years, including making it a maglev modeled after the maglev in the National Science Museum.[4] In 2015, a basic plan was established and the following year they announced the route, which included two demonstration routes that would later be connected, one in an urban area and one in a business area.[5] It is still in the planning stage and is expected to open in 2027. Line 2 will be serviced as a tram.[6]
