The anticipated operating speed of Gwangju Subway Line 2 has been significantly reduced from the initially planned 35 km/h to 25 km/h. This decrease in speed, reported by Yonhap News Agency from Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, raises concerns about the number of train runs possible after the line’s opening. Authorities are now evaluating strategies to maximize train frequency despite the slower speed. The change impacts planned service capacity for the new subway line in Gwangju. Further details regarding the reasons for the speed reduction and potential mitigation plans are expected to be released soon. The adjustment will likely influence passenger transport efficiency on Gwangju Subway Line 2. This development signals a shift in the operational expectations for the metropolitan railway.
