Ulysses (Chinese: 尤利西斯) is a station operated by Rigel Corporation.

History

Opened in 2008, Ulysses station is a part of the Rigel Line (Phase 2).

The station was outsourced and constructed by KCRC.

Merger with Fuka Lightrail

In 2011, The Railway Development Strategy indicates that the distance between Fuka West station and Ulysses station is too close, bringing unnecessary extra cost and low effectiveness, and therefore recommends a merge between them. After consulting with Rigel Corp, KCRC decides to build two extra platforms at the ground level of Ulysses station for the Fuka Lightrail and closes the original Fuka West station instead. The merger was finished in mid-2013.
