Busan Metro Line 1 is the north-south route of theBusan Metro. It is 40.4 kilometres (25.1 mi) long with 40 stations, and is considered the second longest line of theBusan Metro system, just behindLine 2. But with Line 1 going to regions such asJagalchi Station,Busan Station,Seomyeon Station,Dongnae Station, andNopo Station, it is deemed the most popular line of all of theBusan Metro system. Line 1 uses 8-car trains. The line color is orange. Its station signs are circular with a white face and orange frame, boasting the name of the station in Korean in big Hangul letters with the smaller English name below it with the station number in orange beside it and the Hanja name at the bottom of their face in similar-sized font. Unlike in the other stations, Line 1's station signs typically lack arms sprouting from their sides, even on the outer walls; instead, the neighboring stations are printed on a black strip that runs across the outer wall; some exceptions exist as inSeomyeon station, where the signs use the designs used for Lines3 and4, albeit with an orange frame.
