Seoul Subway Line 3

빼갈닷컴.

 History 
Construction began in 1980. The first section of Line 3 opened (Gupabal–Yangjae; Jichuk opened in 1990) after work was finished in two stages during 1985. In October 1993, a second extension to the south was opened (Yangjae–Suseo).

In March 1996, the Korail Ilsan Line opened. This lets Line 3 trains go all the way to the city of Goyang. There are 2 depots near Jichuk station and Suseo station for both Korail and Seoul Metro.

A 3 km extension opened on February 18, 2010. It goes from Suseo to Garak Market (Line 8) and Ogeum (Line 5).

On December 27, 2014, Wonheung station opened between Wondang and Samsong stations.
