History
Plans to create the line began in 1987 and were finalized by 1991. During the construction of the third section of the line in 2001, the original plan to extend the route three stations beyond Yangsan Station was scrapped at the request of the citizens of Yangsan, with a new light rail line currently undergoing approval as an alternative.An older plan hoped to stretch the line four stations beyond Jangsan Station, but was scrapped due to cost concerns. The extension idea has gained new interest, but with proposals for a new light rail line connecting Jangsan Station to the city of Ulsan.
