Daegu
Daegu got its first subway line in 1997, when Line 1 opened between Jincheon and Jungangno. In February 2003 an arson attack on a train at Jungangno station killed 192 people, and afterward Daegu's subway cars were refitted with flame-retardant interiors. In the nearly thirty years since its opening, the network has grown to three lines. Line 2 opened in 2005, crossing the city from east to west, and Line 3, opened in 2015, is Korea's first straddle-type monorail, fully elevated so riders can watch the city pass below.
