History
Line 2 was planned to open in August 2014, but the opening date was pushed back to July 30, 2016.
Rolling stock and signaling
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.
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.
