Routes

Wanda–Zhonghe–Shulin line is the medium-capacity route and consists of Phase I and Phase II. Phase I was approved by the Executive Yuan on 12 February 2010.[5] It is split into two phases. Phase I consists of nine underground stations and a depot in Jincheng Road. The 9.5 km long line (Phase I) will connect to the Songshan–Xindian line at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (LG01), one of its termini. Also, this line goes under the Xindian River between LG04 and LG05.[6] Jincheng Road (LG08) is where the other terminus is located, and will be named as Zhonghe Senior High School Station.[7] A branch line consists of only Zhonghe Senior High School and Juguang stations.

Phase II is approved for construction, too.[8] Its termini are located at Huilong (LG21) and Tingliao (LG09). Stations LG01 to LG10 are underground, while stations LG11 to LG21 are elevated.[9] The Taipei City Government is the local authority. The funds will be borne by the Central Government and the New Taipei City Government. The total project funding is about 55.881 billion NTD. The current plan has been submitted to Ministry of Transportation and Communications on 26 January 2017. The ministry deliberated, and the high-speed railway engineering bureau of the ministry is conducting a written review operation in conjunction with relevant units. The second phase of the route is located within New Taipei City. At present, changes to urban planning and bidding for basic designs have begun. After the Taipei and New Taipei City conferences are held to reach a consensus, the plan will be submitted to the central government for further review. On 2 May 2018, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications merged the project into the second phase of the project of Forward-Looking Infrastructure.
