A large bus transit terminal is planned to be built between the space of Exit 1 and the United Daily News Office.The station also provides free shuttle bus transport to the Taipei 101 financial center, and to the World Trade Center during major exhibitions.As of November 2006, the Taipei City Hall Station transports 74,507 people, second to Taipei Main Station, Ximen Station, and Zhongxiao Fuxing Station
