#KNNNews #Busan #Yangsan #UrbanRailway #YangsanLine #Opening [Anchor] The Yangsan Line, which connects Busan Urban Railway Line 1 to Bukjeong in Yangsan (beyond Sasong), has entered trial operations ahead of its opening in the second half of this year. It is expected to be usable without a separate transfer fare, and a major hurdle has been overcome as Busan and Yangsan City have reached an agreement on cost-sharing. Reporter Park Myeong-seon reports. [Reporter] The Yangsan Line, an urban railway with a total length of 11.43 km and 7 stations, has begun trial operations ahead of its opening in the second half of this year. It features smart trains; as the train approaches apartment complexes during operation, the windows automatically fog up to protect passengers' privacy. Mobile phone chargers are installed inside, and an air purification system operates automatically based on fine dust levels. "Once the Yangsan Line opens, a living zone within 20 minutes will be established between Nopo and Bukjeong, and a railway network connecting to Busan Lines 1 and 2 will be completed." Regarding the operation of the Yangsan Line, Yangsan City will be responsible for operational management and costs for the section from Busan's Nopo Station on Line 1 to Yangsan's Bukjeong Station. Busan City is scheduled to take charge of the operation of the Line 2 connection section from Yangsan Station to Yangsan Jungang Station. {Kwon Tae / Head of Yangsan Operations Headquarters, Woojin Metro / "We plan to complete facility verification tests by May and operational trial runs in August or September. Following completion and approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, we aim to open within the year."} A compromise has also been found regarding the deficit in the existing Line 2 Hopo-Yangsan section, which had been a stumbling block. Regarding the annual deficit of 30 billion won, Yangsan City has agreed to share the vehicle electricity costs specifically for the Yangsan section. {Na Dong-yeon / Mayor of Yangsan, Gyeongnam / "This is evaluated as a meaningful example of administrative cooperation in that operational plans were established through the cooperation and mutual concessions of the two cities, prioritizing the transportation convenience of citizens."} The Yangsan Line, an urban railway scheduled to operate 130 trains per day upon opening, applies the same fares as the Busan Metro and offers enhanced convenience, such as the ability to transfer without exiting the ticket gates. It is expected to become a key axis of the Busan-Gyeongnam metropolitan transportation network. This is Park Myeong-seon from KNN.
