Operation
Trains run every 6 minutes (9 minutes on Sundays and holidays). One-car trains are operated, a feature unique to this Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) system; trains can be lengthened to two cars if necessary, similar to the AirTrain JFK. Despite being a medium capacity system, at 3.2 meters (10 ft 6 in), they are ironically the widest trains in South Korea.

Ridership
Ridership was lower than expected on opening day; around 9,000 people per day in April 2013.[5] It grew to around 30,000 people per day by April 2015. The increase is touted to be the result of a fare integration program introduced in September 2014.
Expansion
There are plans to extend the line 6.8-kilometer (4.2 mi) from Giheung Station to Gwanggyo Station on the Shinbundang Line.[6]
Additionally, Neo Trans, the operator of the Shinbundang Line, took over operations in 2016.
Corruption allegations
South Korean authorities is investigated for possible corruption by Bombardier Transportation officials over the building of this line and concerns that ridership was exaggerated to have the technology preferentially chosen over other contenders. No charges were filed due to a lack of presented evidence and the case reaching its statute of limitation.[2]
