Busan Metro Line 1 is the north-south route of the Busan Metro. It is 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) long with 34 stations (40 stations in 2016), and is considered the second longest line of the Busan Subway system, just behind Line 2. But with Line 1 going to regions such as Jagalchi Station, Busan Station, Seomyeon Station, Dongnae Station, and Nopo Station, it is deemed as the most popular line of all of the Busan Subway system. Line 1 uses 8-car trains. The line color is orange.
