History
In 1995, there were basic plans for five subway lines within Daejeon spread over 100 km of track. [1] While Daejeon Metro Line 1 started construction in 1996, Line 2 has gone through a number of changes and proposals over the years, including making it a maglev modeled after the maglev in the National Science Museum. [2] The maglev design passed a feasibility study in 2012, [3] [4] but two years later it was announced the new line would be a streetcar tram system. [5] In 2015, a basic plan was established and the following year they announced the route, which included two demonstration routes that would later be connected, one in an urban area and one in a business area. [6] In 2017, the maglev feasibility plan officially expired, which officially ended plans for the line to be a maglev unless a new feasibility study would be conducted. [7]
In 2018, the Korea Development Institute (KDI) began a new feasibility study, this time for the proposed tram [8] but was exempted along with 22 other projects as part of the 2019 Balanced National Development Project [9] before passing KDI's review in August 2019. [10]
