The Wanda–Zhonghe–Shulin or Light Green (code LG) line (Chinese: 萬大中和樹林線) is a metro line under construction in Taipei. It is managed by the Taipei City Government Department of Rapid Transit Systems and scheduled to be complete in 2025.[1] Following the Taipei Metro's color coding scheme, the Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin line will be light green, with stations abbreviated as "LGXX" ("XX" being the station number). When Phase I is completed, the line is expected to carry 270,000 riders per day, and passengers will be able to travel between the terminus at Zhonghe Senior High School and Taipei Main Station in 25 minutes.[2]

Phase I

This medium-capacity route was approved by the Executive Yuan on 12 February 2010.[3] 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.[4] Jincheng Road (LG08) is where the other terminus is located, and may be named as Zhonghe Senior High School Station.[5] A branch line consists of only Zhonghe Senior High School and Juguang stations.

Stations

Stations LG01–08A are currently under construction, scheduled for completion in 2025.

Phase II

Phase II is approved for construction.[citation needed] Its termini are located at Huilong (LG21) and somewhere near Jincheng Lide Intersection, which is possibly Qingshui Station (LG09).[6] From stations LG01 to LG10, the track is underground, but LG11 to LG21 run aboveground.[7]

This phase is still under planning. 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 January 26, 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 May 2, 2018, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications merged the project into the second phase of the project of Forward-Looking Infrastructure.
