[edit] Operation

Because the station is underneath Zhongxiao East Road, and nearby the newly developed Xinyi Shopping District, the Taipei City Hall station is one of the most widely used station in the Taipei Rapid Transport System. Due to the large crowd during weekends and rush hours, the Department of Rapid Transit System has decided to construct the Metro Xinyi Line to diverge some of the crowd. The station is also a transit station for local and long distance buses to Neihu, Sanchong, Xinzhuang, Luzhou, Jingmei, Muzha, and to Keelung, Taoyuan, Zhongli, Miaoli, Taichung, etc... A large bus transit terminal is planned to be built between the space of Exit 1 and the United Daily News Office. The station also provides free shuttle bus transport to the Taipei 101 financial center, and to the World Trade Center during major exhibitions. As of November 2006, the Taipei City Hall Station transports 74,507 people, second to Taipei Main Station, Ximen Station, and Zhongxiao Fuxing Station
