Ui LRT
Construction of the Ui-Sinseol LRT began in 2009. It is a completely underground light rail line running from Sinseol-dong to Ui-dong in northern Seoul.
​
The line opened on September 2, 2017, from Sinseol-dong to Bukhansan Ui. It is marked light yellow on maps.
All trains travel between Bukhansan Ui and Sinseol-dong.
​
The current line is 11.4 km (7.1 mi) long. All track is on the right-hand side.
All stations feature screen doors.
​
There is a single underground depot at Ui.
​
The line is owned and operated by the privately owned Ui-Sinseol Operation Company. Unlike other privately owned lines, there is no additional charge to ride.
​
The line is autonomous and fully driverless thanks to an Ansaldo ATS/ATO signal system.
​
A proposed extension of the line would extend the line north to Banghak Station on Line 1.
A full run of the line takes around 23 minutes.
Ui-Sinseol UL000-series train UL15.
