The Taipei MetroXiaobitan Branch Line is a high-capacity, elevated branch line of the Songshan–Xindian line. Although it is a high-capacity line, only 1 train set (3 cars) is currently being used.[1] Xiaobitan station itself is built inside the Xindian Depot.[1][2] The branch line is 1.9 km (1.2 mi) long and has two stations.
24 September 2004: Xiaobitan Line opens for free trials.
29 September 2004: Xiaobitan Line begins revenue service.
22 July 2006: A three-car train set built especially for the Xiaobitan Branch Line begins operations.
6 October 2007: Due to strong winds from Hurricane Krosa, service was temporarily suspended from 3:30 PM.[3]
When the line first opened, some people complained about noise problems.[4] Thus, sound-muffling walls were built along the tracks coming into the station.
The line has a capacity of 4,140 passengers per hour.[4]
