Route map

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 Subway 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 as the most popular line of all of the Busan Subway system. Line 1 uses 8-car trains. The line color is orange.

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

The hours of operation of Line 1 start at 5:05 for the ride from Sinpyeong to Nopo at Sinpyeong Station and 5:10 for Nopo to Sinpyeong at Nopo Station. The hours end with the last trains arriving in Sinpyeong at 00:35 and Nopo at 00:30. A ride through the entire line takes about 1 hour 2 minutes.
