Incheon Subway Line 2 is a driverless, medium-capacity subway line running 29.2 km (18.1 mi) from Oryu-dong in Seo-gu to Incheon Grand Park, with 27 stations,[1] part of the Incheon Subway system. The line is also included as a part of the overall Seoul Metropolitan Subway network; Juan station has a free transfer with Seoul Subway Line 1, Geomam station connects with the AREX Line to Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station, and Seongnam also has a free transfer with Seoul Subway Line 7.
Line 2 has aboveground sections north of Asiad Stadium and east of Namdong-gu Office.
Line 2 was planned to open in August 2014,[4] but the opening date was pushed back to July 30, 2016.
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]
All stations are in Incheon.
