The Taipei Metro Songshan Airport station is located in Songshan, Taipei, Taiwan. It is a station on Wenhu line and serves as a transportation gateway to Taipei Songshan Airport.
Station overview
[edit]
This four-level, underground station features an island platform and three exits.[2][3] The station is 150 meters long, 20 meters wide, and is accessible from Songshan Airport via a 42-meter long underground cross passage.[3][4] This station is one of the only two underground stations on the Wenhu line, the other being Dazhi station. They are also the first underground stations in the system to have platform doors.
In addition to developing food facilities in the underground passage connecting the station to the airport, an "airport library" will also be opened.[5]
From 30 March 1936 until 1976, there was also a Songshan Airport station located on the now-defunct TRA Songshan Airport Line which was linked to Songshan Station by an intermediate station (Songshan Power Plant Station), but the TRA station was built at a different location from the present Metro station.
