Rolling stock and signaling The ITC Line2 is a driverless, fully automatic subway system. The line uses 37 two-car trains, all of which were built in 2013 by Hyundai Rotem, a member of Hyundai Motor Group. They are similar to the Canada Line cars in Vancouver, Canada, albeit using the narrow light metro body () and external sliding doors as opposed to the heavy metro wide body and pocket doors, and using a bottom contact third rail instead of the North American top contact.
Currently, all stations are long enough to fit four-car trains (two sets mated together); however, current operations use two-car trains (one set per train).
SelTrac CBTC is currently being implemented on the line by Thales, along with an urban rail traffic management system; these systems will allow the trains to be driverless.
Stations All stations are in Incheon.
