Station overview

Circular Line platform

This four-level, underground station, has two island platforms and five exits.^[3]

Due to the plans for the Circular line being unknown during construction of the Xindian line, there was no space reserved for the transfer to the future Circular line. This can be noted in today's transfer route at Dapinglin station, where passengers from the Songshan–Xindian line (B2) transferring to the Circular line (B4) or vice versa need to go to the concourse (B1) first before transferring to the other line,^[4] whereas at Zhongxiao Xinsheng station, which had reserved space for transferring to the Xinzhuang line during the construction of the Nangang line, can go directly from the Nangang line (B2) to the Xinzhuang line (B3) or vice versa without having to go to the concourse (B1).^[5]
