Friends who are planning to visit Taipa and Cotai City may consider taking the latest transportation in Macau – the Macau Light Rail Transit. This railway runs through many resorts, airports and cross-border terminals, and there will be no traffic jams on the way. It is very suitable for passengers who come back and forth on the same day and are in a hurry!

Macau’s first railway, the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line, started construction in February 2012. After nearly seven years of construction, it opened to traffic in December 2019. After the Taipa Line was put into service, Macau is no longer the only first-level administrative region in China without a railway.

The Macau Light Rail Transit Taipa Line connects many tourist attractions, airports and cross-border ferry terminals in Taipa and Cotai. However, about one month after the opening of the Taipa Line of the Macau Light Rail Transit, the epidemic situation broke out in Hong Kong and Macau. I believe that many friends have never taken the Macau Light Rail Transit.

Macau Light Rail Taipa Line connects Taipa Ocean Garden (Ocean Station) from Taipa Ferry Terminal (Taipa Ferry Terminal Station) via Cotai. There are 11 stations on the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line, with a total length of about 9.3 kilometers. It takes 22 minutes to complete the journey. There is a bus every 10 minutes. Since the Taipa Line of the Macau Light Rail Transit is operated by the MTR Corporation, you can also see MTR signs or notices familiar to Hong Kong people on the stations, trains, and staff uniforms.

In terms of the regular fare of the Macau Light Rail Transit, the fare for adults is MOP 6 if you travel within 3 stations or less; the fare for travel within 6 stations is MOP 8; the fare for travel within 10 stations is MOP 10. Children whose height is less than one meter can ride the Macau Light Rail Transit for free, and other children or student electronic prepaid card holders can ride at half the price. Be careful! Macau LRT stations do not accept tickets purchased in Hong Kong dollars, so prepare enough Macau dollars before boarding.

Main tourist attractions or infrastructure along the Taipa Line:
Taipa Ferry Terminal Station: Taipa Ferry Terminal
Airport Station: Macau International Airport
Cotai East Station: MGM COTAI, Wynn Palace, City of Dreams, The Londoner Macau, Sands Cotai Central
East Asian Games Station: Macau East Asian Games Stadium, Macau Lisboa, Macau Lisboa Integrated Resort
Lotus Port Station: Lotus Port, Studio City
Cotai West Station: The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao
Paijiao Station: Guanye Street, Yinhe
Jockey Club Station: Taipa Racecourse

There are not many passengers on the Taipa Line of the Macau Light Rail Transit

The reporter and friends visited Macau during the Lunar New Year period, and took the Macau Light Rail Transit to various scenic spots during the period. The staff of the Macau Light Rail Transit is very kind. After the reporter bought the ticket, there was a special reminder on which platform to board the train to go to the destination. In the carriages, there are also staff members of the Macau Light Rail Transit who kindly teach the passengers how to take pictures of the scenery outside the window. Everyone just needs to stick the lens directly to the glass to capture the scenery without reflections.

Unlike most trains in Hong Kong, all trains on the Taipa Line of the Macau LRT are operated by computers without a driver. The front of the train not only does not have a cab, but also has a large glass to allow passengers to see the scenery along the line. The reporter took the bus at night and saw the bright and shining scene of the Cotai Casino while the Macau light rail train was running, which was unforgettable.

Although the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line runs every 10 minutes, according to the reporter’s observation, there are not too many light rail passengers in the afternoon or evening of the holiday, and the carriages are not crowded, spacious and comfortable. Because the light rail has not yet connected to the densely populated Macau Peninsula, the number of people commuting by light rail is limited.

The reporter checked the information and found that the Macau Peninsula Line and the Inner Harbor Line connecting the Macau Peninsula’s Nan Van Lake, Tourist Tower, Fulong New Street and other scenic spots by the Macau Light Rail Transit are still in the planning stage and have not yet opened to traffic. If you want to take the Macau Light Rail Transit around Macau, it seems that you still have to wait for a long time.
