system. While Line 2

area would not use the whole line 2 to reach the Haeundae area; instead, he or she would transfer at Deokcheon Station to Line 3, and transfer back to Line 2 at Suyeong Station. Line 3 also increased the efficiency of traveling between Deokcheon and Yeonsandong area, along with the Minam and Dongnae
area.
