The volume of passengers has been rising steadily since the easing of pandemic curbs and is set to increase further with the opening of the Taipa-Barra section later this year.
Light Rapid Transit
Operation of the 1.6-kilometre line, which connects Seac Pai Van station and a station at the new Islands Healthcare Complex, is expected to begin next year.
Four new rail lines should be running by 2028; 10 kilometres of elevated walkways to thread their way above city’s most congested areas; electric-powered vehicles to be encouraged.
No interchange discounts likely, but work under way to allow passengers to use Macau Pass on trains.
Out of action for months after a host of technical problems, trains will run from morning till night on the revamped line between Ocean and Taipa Ferry Terminal stations.
Lengthy repairs including replacement of 124 kilometres of cables to MOP 10 billion line almost complete; costly infrastructure project a burden on public purse.
The 1,600-metre line will feature two stations – one at the new Islands hospital complex – and is due to open by Christmas 2023.
All incidents related to the operation of the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) will be “uniformly” reported to the media by the government-owned LRT operator from now on.
Trial run of the LRT Taipa section extended until January 31, continuing another one-month period for free rides.
