Lines

Daegu has two subway lines, Daegu Subway Line 1 and Daegu Subway Line 2. Line 1 was the site of the Daegu subway fire of 2003, when an arsonist set fire to a train in rush hour and killed nearly 200 people.

Line 2 was completed in October 2005.

The transport department has approved plans to build an Automated Guideway Transit line and is also planning to build a Monorail line.
