EverLine

The Yongin EverLine (or EverLine; Korean: 에버라인, Yongin Light Rail Transit) is a fully automated driverless 18.1-kilometer (11.2 mi) people mover line in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, Seoul Metropolitan Area connecting Everland, South Korea's most popular theme park, to the Suin-Bundang Line of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, a system which it is arguably a part of. The system is identical to the AirTrain JFK people mover and airport rail link in New York City, using single-car Bombardier Advanced Rapid Transit vehicles controlled by Bombardier CITYFLO 650 automatic train control technology. Planning for the line started in April 1996. Ground was broken for construction in November 2005. Starting in November 2009, the operating company conducted test runs of the trains. The opening was delayed several times but finally opened for service on April 26, 2013. A physical transfer to the (underground) Suin-Bundang line at Giheung Station opened on January 9, 2014 and a transfer discount to the line was introduced on September 20 of the same year. It was scheduled to open on April 16, 2011, but it did not open due to noise complaints and safety issues related to facilities in some sections of the line, as well as conflicts between the construction company and Yongin City, the ultimate operator. The opening date was postponed indefinitely several times, but it was later resolved through arbitration by the International Court of Arbitration when Yongin City paid compensation to Yongin Light Rail, and it finally opened belatedly on April 26, 2013. The color used for signage and branding is lime green.
