Busan Subway Line 1 (coloured orange) is a north-south route on the subway system in Busan. It is, as of 2005, 32.5 km long.
Plans for this line were made in 1979. Two years later, in 1981, construction began on the first phase, between Nopo-dong and Beomnaegol, which was finished in July 1985. This stretch was 16.2 km long. Further extensions continued southward, with a 5.4-km extension from Beomnaegol to Jungang-dong opened in May 1987, a 4.5-km extension to Seodaeshin-dong in February 1990, and a 6.4 km extension to Shinpyeong in June 1994.
Line 1 of the Busan subway uses 8-car trains, with 45 currently in total.
There are no current plans to extend Line 1.
