The Taipei Metro Fu Jen University station is a station on the Xinzhuang Line located in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[2] The station opened on 5 January 2012,[3] and is named after the adjoining Fu Jen Catholic University.

Station overview

[edit]
The metro station public art "Veritas, Bonitas, Pulchritudo, Sanctitas" created by a Fu Jen professor is named after Fu Jen's university motto.
The public art is a mosaic tiles art, and the lights of the peace dove will flash in turn.

This two-level, underground station has an island platform.[4] It is located beneath the intersection of Zhongzheng Rd. and Lane 508, Zhongzheng Rd. It was originally scheduled to open in 2013,[5] but it began service earlier 5 January 2012.[3] It was originally planned as the western terminus of the Xinzhuang Line, hence the station number (O1); the new terminus will instead be Huilong. It served as the western terminus of the Xinzhuang Line when the New Taipei City portion of the Xinzhuang Line opened on January 5, 2012 until Danfeng and Huilong stations opened on June 29, 2013.
