Future plans The transport department has approved the plan to build the Automated Guideway Transit line in Daegu. The color of AGT line will be purple. Lines Fare The fare is 1,400 won for a token to any stop on the subway and only 1,250 won with the use of a transportation card. Rolling stock Daegu Metro lines are segregated, each with its own distinct vehicles. Lines 1 and 2 use the same railway technology (rapid transit), while Line 3 uses an entirely different system (monorail). Accidents and incidents On 28 April 1995, a gas explosion occurred during the construction of Line 1 near the District of Sangin. 101 people near the site, including 53 students, were killed and 143 people were injured. On 18 February 2003, Daegu subway fire broke out when an arsonist set fire to a train during the rush hour, killing 192 people and injuring 148 people. The incident raised the great concerns and consequent awareness in the public safety of the metro transit, prompting the city to replace the subway car's internal materials to be more flame retardant, placing the emergency gas masks and respirators within the subway cars, and improving the safety guidelines. In December 2008, the Daegu Safety Theme Park opened with the goal to educate and raise awareness of the public metro safety to the city's people as well as visitors.
