[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Jinjeop Line (Danggogae~Jinjeop) double-track subway will open on the 19th.

The Jinjeop Line is a nationally implemented metropolitan railway connecting 14.89 km between Seoul Danggogae Station and Namyangju Jinjeop Station. It has been promoted since 2012 to address transportation demand in the eastern and northeastern metropolitan areas and was completed after about 10 years.

With the opening of the Jinjeop Line, the travel time from Jinjeop to Seoul Station, which previously took about 2 hours by bus, is reduced by about 1 hour and 8 minutes, taking 52 minutes.

The number of operations is 152 round trips on weekdays and 118 on holidays, with intervals of 10 to 12 minutes during commuting hours and 20 minutes during off-peak hours. The first train on the opening day departs from Jinjeop Station (toward Danggogae) at 05:32.

The Jinjeop Line is managed by Namyangju City (Namyangju Urban Corporation), the first basic local government to take charge of station operations and management, while Seoul Metro operates the trains, and Korea Railroad Corporation is responsible for railway facility maintenance.
