Metro station in Ansan, South Korea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hanyang University at Ansan station (Korean: 한대앞역) is a station on Seoul Subway Line 4 & the Suin–Bundang Line in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.[1] It is named after the city's ERICA campus of Hanyang University.[1] Unlike the name of the station, Hanyang University is not right in front of the station. Hanyang University shuttle buses stop in front of the station.[2] Buses usually take students from the station to the university every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends.[3]

This station was the planned southeastern terminus of the section of the Suin Line; it became a transfer point between Line 4 and the Suin Line when construction on the Suin Line was completed in 2019.[4] Opening was delayed until autumn 2020, when it became part of the Suin–Bundang Line.[5][6][7]

Name
At the time of its opening, the station was named "Handae" and "Handaeap", which was later changed to "Hanyang Univ. at Ansan" in 2001.[citation needed]
Even now, the sign near exit 1 is still written 'Handae-ap' because it is old.
