The Wirye Line (Korean: 위례선; Hanja: 慰禮線) is a future tram line in Seoul, South Korea serving Wirye New Town. Construction is planned to begin on 5 December 2022 and the line is scheduled to be opened in September 2026, with a projected cost of ₩261.4 billion (US$194.4 million). It will be the first tram line to run in Seoul since the closure of the city's tram system in 1968.[1][2] The line will be standard-gauge and will use trams supplied by Hyundai Rotem and Woojin, with battery-based propulsion and onboard fuel cells providing electrical power.[3]
