[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Regarding the extension line of Subway Line 9 to the Misa District, Kim Sang-ho, mayor of Hanam City, stated, "We plan to propose that the Misa District station be designated as an express station."

Mayor Kim said at a dialogue with residents of Misa 1-dong on the 15th, "After the preliminary feasibility study (hereinafter 'PFS') for public institutions on Line 9 passes, we will actively propose to relevant agencies, together with National Assembly member Choi Jong-yoon and other political figures, that the station be designed as an express stop."

He added, "If the express station is included, it will reduce travel time by about 15 minutes to Seoul Jamsil Sports Complex and about 25 minutes to Yeouido, and there will be no inconvenience of transferring to an express train in the middle."

The Line 9 extension, for which the PFS is being conducted as part of the metropolitan transportation measures for Namyangju Wangsuk District, will connect from Jungang Veterans Hospital Station through Seoul Gangdong to Hanam Misa District and Namyangju Wangsuk District.

Line 9, which operates from Gaehwa Station to Jungang Veterans Hospital Station, has a total of 38 stations, of which 16 stations are express train stops spaced every 2 to 3 stations.

Based on this, the city expects that Godeok Station, anticipated to be a transfer station for Lines 5 and 9, and Misa District Station will be suitable as express train stops.
