Xike (Chinese: 汐科) is a railway station in New Taipei, Taiwan served by Taiwan Railway. Located near Xizhi's science and technology park, it experiences heavy traffic during the morning and early evening rush hours.
Construction
[edit]Construction started in June 2005 and finished on schedule in December 2007.[7] During planning the names South Xizhi Station (南汐止站) and Xike Park Station (汐科園區站) were mooted, but eventually the name Xike Station (汐科站) was chosen.
Usage
[edit]Media reports have highlighted Xike Station as part of the "MRT-ization" plan for Taiwan's urban railways, offering convenient transport for commuters, spurring new residential construction, and raising property prices in the vicinity of the station.[8]
Only local trains stop at this station.
Future expansion
[edit]The planned Minsheng–Xizhi line of the Taipei Metro (MRT) system would see Xike Station transformed into a TRA and MRT interchange station.[9]
