The line is more expensive than other subway lines with a standard price of 1,600 plus a 100won surcharge for each 5km after the first 10km. The reason for the high price is due to the line being built by a private enterprise.

The line is fully automated and the window at the front of the subway car is sure to be a popular spot. You can read about the line and where it can take you here.
