Everline
The Yongin Everline started construction in 2005. It would connect the city of Yongin to Everland, South Korea's largest and most popular theme park. The INNOVIA Metro system from Bombardier was chosen to operate the line. This system is very popular around the world, namely for its use on the JFK AirTrain and Vancouver SkyTrain.
​
The line opened on April 26, 2013, from Giheung to Jeondae-Everland. The line is marked green on maps.

Access to the underground Bundang Line platform at Giheung opened on January 9, 2014, completing the current line.
​
All trains travel between Giheung and Jeondae-Everland. Trains run every six minutes, and every nine minutes on Sundays and holidays.
​
There is a depot at Samga.
​
The line was originally operated by Yongin Rapid Transit Corporation and the city of Yongin. Operations were handed over to NeoTrans, one of the operators of the Shinbundang Line, in 2016.
​
The current line is 18.143 km (11.274 mi) long. All track is on the right-hand side. The entire line is elevated aboveground, with Kangnam University being the only station at ground level.
​
The line is autonomous and driverless thanks to a Bombardier CITYFLO 650 train control system.
​
The line runs on the standard metropolitan fare system, but there is a additional 200 won (16 cents) charge to ride the line. This charge is discounted to 160 won (13 cents) for youths and 100 won (~8 cents) for children.
​
The line is planned to be extended 6.8 km (4.2 mi) from Giheung to Gwanggyo on the Shinbundang Line.
Opened in 1976, Everland receives 5.85 million visitors annually.
​
An entire run of the line takes around 28 minutes.
