Station overview

This two-level, underground station has an island platform and four exits. It is an out-of-station interchange with Xinpu Minsheng station on the Circular line, which is 250 meters away.
Because the Circular line was originally planned to make a regular interchange within Xinpu station, Xinpu station adapts a concourse design similar to that of Zhongxiao Fuxing station. However, after considering that the Circular line could benefit a lot more if it set up a station at Banqiao on the Bannan line, giving the ability to also transfer to Taiwan Railway, THSR and long-distance buses, it was decided that the Circular line set up Banqiao station, which has caused the two out-of-station interchanges at Banqiao and Xinpu/Xinpu Minsheng.
