history
[edit]November 15, 1995: Business began with the opening of the section between Wangsimni Station and Sangil-dong Station on Seoul Subway Line 5. March 30, 1996: It became a transfer station with the opening of the Gangdong Station to Macheon Station section of Line 5's Macheonji Line. August 1, 2016: Bugi station name changed to Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital. August 2019: Bugi station name deleted due to expiration of contract period.
Station Structure
[edit]It is an underground station with a 2-sided, 3-track platform, and the first side, 2 tracks, are used by trains bound for Banghwa, and the remaining side, 1 track, facing the Banghwa-bound island platform, is used by trains bound for Hanam Geomdansan, Sangil-dong, and Macheon on Line 5. In the case of the down train, the trains bound for Hanam Geomdansan and Sangil-dong and the train bound for Macheon enter alternately on the same track, so you must check the destination again before boarding. In the case of the up train, there is a track right next to the down track and a track opposite it. Trains bound for Banghwa enter both tracks, and of these, the track right next to the down track passes through Gildong Station in the direction of Hanam Geomdansan, and the track opposite it passes through Duncheon-dong Station in the direction of Macheon. You can board either train and go to Cheonho Station.
