The Taipei Metro Xiaobitan Station is a terminal station on the Xiaobitan Branch Line located in Xindian District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
This four-level, elevated station has a side platform and two exits. Its platform length allows for a three-car, high capacity train. The station location is right next to the Xindian Depot, above the maintenance workshop.
The entrance to the station and platform are situated on the fourth floor of the depot. The station covers an area of 3,000 square meters, while the platform is 70.5 meters long. Two escalators are located at the two entrances and are 14.45 meters high and 16.52 meters high; they are the second longest elevators in the system after those at Zhongxiao Fuxing.
Public art at the station is themed "The Way to the Very Joyance", where the station design includes many elements designed to embrace nature. Pieces include "Time Jelly", a bronze piece shaped like melting toffee over a station wall, and "The Dancing Cloud", a plastic and steel piece situated on top of platform columns. Additional pieces include those in adjacent public squares around the station.
Construction began on April 2, 2001, and after four year of construction was completed on September 30, 2004. When the line first opened, some people complained about noise problems. Thus, sound-muffling walls were built along the tracks coming into the station.
Although the station platform only allows room for a three-car trainset, when the station was first opened a six-car trainset was used on the line. In this case, only the first three train cars' doors opened at this station (selective door operation). It was not until July 22, 2006 that a dedicated three-car trainset began service on the line.
