Busan Metro Line 1 is the north-south route of the Busan Metro. It is 40.4 kilometres (25.1 mi) long with 40 stations, and is considered the second longest line of the Busan Metro system, just behind Line 2. But with Line 1 going to regions such as Jagalchi Station, Busan Station, Seomyeon Station, Dongnae Station, and Nopo Station, it is deemed the most popular line of all of the Busan Metro system. Line 1 uses 8-car trains. The line color is orange. Its station signs are circular with a white face and orange frame, boasting the name of the station in Korean in big Hangul letters with the smaller English name below it with the station number in orange beside it and the Hanja name at the bottom of their face in similar-sized font. Unlike in the other stations, Line 1's station signs typically lack arms sprouting from their sides, even on the outer walls; instead, the neighboring stations are printed on a black strip that runs across the outer wall; some exceptions exist as in Seomyeon station, where the signs use the designs used for Lines 3 and 4, albeit with an orange frame.

History

Plans to create this line began in 1979. In 2009, Busan Transportation Corporation planned to complete the fifth section extension of the metro line by late 2013, but later on postponed it to November 2016.
