Seoul Subway Line 9, operated by Seoul Metro Line9 Corporation, is a subway line in Seoul. Originally scheduled to open on June 12, 2009, the line actually opened on July 24, 2009 to ensure that the line was fully ready to begin service. Line 9 was constructed like a standard double track subway, but the tracks are quadrupled at some stations to enable express trains to bypass local trains. Express trains run five times per hour in each direction. All stations except Gaehwa are equipped with elevators, escalators, and platform screen doors. Phase 1 (Gaewha~Sinnonhyeon) was the first privately run subway line in Korea, operated by a joint venture of Hyundai Rotem and Veolia Transport, a French company. Phase 2 (Sinnonhyeon~Sports Complex) is operated by Seoul Metro. == History == Line 9 runs east from Gaehwa Station (local train terminal), and Gimpo Airport Station (express train terminal) (connecting to Line 5 and Airport Railroad) along the south bank of the Han River towards Sinnonhyeon in Gangnam. Construction of Phase 1 between Gaehwa and Sinnonhyeon began in April 2002, and completed on July 24, 2009. Major transfer stations on the first phase are Dangsan (Line 2), Yeouido (Line 5), Noryangjin (Line 1), Dongjak (Line 4), and Express Bus Terminal (Lines 3 and 7) Stations. Operation started with 24 trains of four cars each, numbered 9-01~9-24. The express train came every 20 minutes and the local train every 6.7 minutes. Due to the number of riders exceeding 250,000 per day, 12 additional four-car trains numbered 9-25~9-36 were ordered and entered service on October 15, 2011. This allowed for the express train headway to be shortened to 10 minutes and the all-stop train headway to 5 minutes. From 30 September 2013, additional express trains were added during commuting times of 7 to 9 AM (from 22 to 36).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='출근 지옥철' 9호선 급행열차 운행 늘려 )〕 Phase 2 extended line from Sinnonhyeon in Gangnam to Sports Complex Station on Line 2 on March 28, 2015. Phase 3 will further extend the line to Bangi Station in eastern Seoul and will be completed in 2016. The Korean government initially proposed a one-seat ride from Incheon International Airport to Gangnam via Gimpo International Airport using either Line 9 or Airport Railroad trains sharing their rights of way by the year 2020.〔http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150526000934〕 This proposal so far has not been implemented thus making it necessary to transfer trains at Gimpo International Airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seoul Subway Line 9」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
