Sema station is a station on Seoul Subway Line 1 in the city of Osan, South Korea. Services on the Gyeongbu Line also pass through this station.
History
[edit]In September 1997 the station was planned to be built with Korail and the city government of Osan sharing 50-50 of the construction cost, but in 1999 Korail decided to cancel the project due to budget constraints, causing residents and students from nearby universities, such as Hanshin University, to protest.[4] After evaluating it to be economically feasible, construction resumed.[5] It was originally scheduled to open in 2002, but conflict over project costs and land ownership further delayed its date.[6] Finally in 2005 it began operations.
