Station Overview
This four-level underground station features an island platform and three exits. The station is 150 meters long, 20 meters wide, and is accessible from Songshan Airport via a 42-meter long underground cross passage. This station along with Dazhi Station are the only underground medium-capacity stations on the Taipei Metro. 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.
From March 30, 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.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
