The 12.9km section between Amsa and Byeollae on Line 8 opened on August 10, and many citizens have begun using it. In particular, expectations for passengers on the section are high due to the advantage of being connected to the metropolitan railway network in the eastern part of the metropolitan area, such as the Gyeongchun Line, Gyeongui-Jungang Line, and Line 5. However, there is only one metropolitan railway in the eastern part of the metropolitan area that is not connected to Line 8 and the Byeollae Line. That is the Jinjeop Line on Line 4. Byeollae Byeolgaram Station, the middle station of the Jinjeop Line, and Byeollae Station, the terminal station of the Byeollae Line, are about 3.2km apart, so it would not be difficult to connect the two lines with a short construction project. However, it is a bit disappointing that the two lines were not connected. In particular, preparations for the construction had been made to some extent since the development of Byeollae New Town, so let's take a look at what they were. #Line 8#Byeollae Line#Byeollae Station#Byeollae Byeolgaram Station#Byeollae New Town#Metropolitan Railway#Urban Railway#Subway#Jinjeop Line#Line 4#Railroad Extension
