Daegu Metro will introduce special transport measures — including additional train runs and extra safety personnel — ahead of the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test, set for Thursday.
To help examinees reach their test centers on time, the operator will add four extra runs per line on Lines 1, 2 and 3 before the entry deadline, for a total of 12 additional runs, and shorten headways to five to six minutes.
To respond quickly to any breakdowns or emergencies during service, 11 mobile maintenance workers will be stationed at major stations including Banwoldang, and six standby train sets will be kept ready at the depot for immediate deployment if needed.
Alongside this, 25 additional safety staff will be deployed at 22 stations near test centers — seven on Line 1, eight on Line 2 and seven on Line 3 — to guide examinees and prevent accidents.
The operator will also run an emergency transport operations center headed by the operations director, and establish a direct hotline with the Daegu fire department and the Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency to strengthen coordination with relevant agencies and enable rapid response to any urgent situations.
"We will do our utmost to provide convenient and safe transport so that examinees can travel with peace of mind and focus on their exam," said Han Geun-su, president of Daegu Metro.
