, “‘Okjeong~Pocheon Line’ is the second phase (Goeup, Yangju to Gunnae-myeon, Pocheon) of the ‘Dobongsan~Pocheon Line’, which extends Seoul Subway Line 7. A total budget of 1.5067 trillion won will be invested to construct a 16.9 km main line, 4 stations, and 1 vehicle base. The goal is to open it in 2030.”,

, “Once the line is operational, the travel time from Pocheon and Yangju to Uijeongbu and Dobongsan Station in Seoul will be reduced from the current 62 minutes to around 38 minutes. This improvement will enhance commuting convenience, contributing to alleviating the chronic traffic congestion in the northern Gyeonggi area and promoting regional co-prosperity.”,
