Xinpu Metro Station

Xinpu (Chinese: 新埔, formerly transliterated as Hsinpu Station until 2003) is a metro station in New Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. It is an out-of-station interchange with Xinpu Minsheng station on the Circular line, which is 250 meters away.

Station overview

Xinpu station exit 5.

This two-level, underground station has an island platform and four exits. It is an out-of-station interchange with Xinpu Minsheng station on the Circular line, which is 250 meters away.

Because the Circular line was originally planned to make a regular interchange within Xinpu station, Xinpu station adapts a concourse design similar to that of Zhongxiao Fuxing station. However, after considering that the Circular line could benefit a lot more if it set up a station at Banqiao on the Bannan line, giving the ability to also transfer to TRA, THSR and long-distance buses, it was decided that the Circular line set up Banqiao station, which has caused the two out-of-station interchanges at Banqiao and Xinpu/Xinpu Minsheng.

History

  • 31 August 2000: Opened for service with the opening of the segment between Jiangzicui and Xinpu.
  • 31 May 2006: Service is extended through to Fuzhong, thus joining with the Tucheng line.
