Daegu Metro Line 1 Explained

●scarlet.

The line first began running from Jincheon to Jungangno on November 26, 1997. The section from Jungnangno to Ansim was opened shortly thereafter, on May 2, 1998. The west end of the line was extended from Jincheon to Daegok, reaching its current length on May 10, 2002. However, service on the entire line was stopped for several months in 2003 following the Daegu subway fire.

It takes 50 minutes and 30 seconds to go from one end to the other.^[1] A southwestern extension was opened on September 8, 2016.^[2]
