The Taipei Metro Xiaobitan Branch Line is a high-capacity, elevated branch line of the Songshan–Xindian line. Although it is a high-capacity line, only 1 train set (3 cars) is currently being used.[1] Xiaobitan station itself is built inside the Xindian Depot.[1][2] The branch line is 1.9 km (1.2 mi) long and has two stations.
