The Circular or Yellow line (code Y) (Template:Lang-zh) is a metro line in New Taipei City, part of the New Taipei Metro, which was previously a line of the Taipei Metro. Currently the line runs between Template:Stl and Template:Stl, it is approximately Script error: No such module "convert". long with 14 stations.[1] This initial section was opened on 31 January 2020.[2] Hitachi Rail Italy supplied 17 sets of 4-car driverless medium-capacity trains for the line.[3][4] Extensions to the north and south are currently under construction.
Construction
Hitachi Rail STS supplied electromechanical equipment for the line, including driverless technology and CBTC signaling.[3][4] Template:Stl, currently the only underground station on the line, was constructed by RSEA Engineering Corporation and employed the cut-and-cover method.[5]
Construction for the first phase officially broke ground on 11 July 2011 on a Script error: No such module "convert". elevated section between Zhonghe and Banqiao.[6] The section is estimated to cost NT$13.7 billion, with the entire first-stage Script error: No such module "convert". route estimated to cost NT$54.7 billion to construct.
The line includes the first elevated split platforms in the system at Template:Stl, Template:Stl, and Template:Stl due to the narrowness of the available station area.[7][8]
The initial section between Template:Stl and Template:Stl opened on 31 January 2020.[2] On 5 May 2023, the Circular line has been transferred from the Taipei Metro to the New Taipei Metro,[9] with the fare structure still integrated with Taipei Metro system, unlike light rail lines of New Taipei Metro.[10]
Public art
Unlike previous public art installations on the metro, it was decided that a smaller number of art pieces would be installed within the same budget, allowing for large-scale artwork.[11]
Across the above ground section of the line, Emmanuelle Moureaux (a Tokyo based French architect and designer) spread distinctive bold colours across infrastructure – including steel beams and pillars, noise barriers, 13 stations and platforms, a bridge over the Tamsui River, and the exterior and interior design of the train.[11][12]
The platforms, walls and ceilings of Banqiao station are decorated by French artist Daniel Buren, using regular, contrasting coloured stripes.[11][13]
Stations in operation
The western section of the line officially opened on 31 January 2020.[2][14]

Services between Zhonghe and Banqiao were temporarily suspended from 3 April 2024 onwards due to the 2024 Hualien earthquake,[16] with the repair work expected to take one year to complete.[17] The section reopened earlier than estimated on 12 December 2024 at 12:00 PM Taiwan Standard Time.[18][19]
