Sinansan Line
The Sinansan Line (Hangul: ì‹ ì•ˆì‚°ì„ , Hanja: 新安山線, meaning "New Ansan Line") is the tentative name of a commuter rail line that will eventually link Cheongnyangni station with western Gyeonggi-do, Gyeonggi province, passing through key areas of the Seoul metropolitan area, including Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo and Gwangmyeong station. Planning The forerunner of the Sinansan Line was Line 10, proposed in 1994 as part of Seoul Metro's Phase 3 expansion but was mostly unbuilt due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Originally Line 10 was also planned to extend east beyond downtown Seoul going through either Sinchon, Dongnimmun and Hyehwa or pass through Gongdeok, Seoul Station and Dongdaemun Stadium.

Rapid Transit
Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas. A rapid transit system that primarily or traditionally runs below the surface may be called a subway, tube, or underground. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit systems are railways (usually electric railway, electric) that operate on an exclusive right-of-way (transportation), right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles, and which is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between rapid transit station, stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks, although some systems use guided rubber tires, magnetic levitation (''maglev''), or monorail. The stations typically have high platforms, without steps inside the trains, requiring custom-made trains in order to minimize gaps between train a ...

Seohae Line
The Seohae Line is a dual-track, electrified rail line in western Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The Seohae Line is being built in four sections simultaneously.
