Timeline

See main article: Macau Light Rapid Transit. After more than seven years of construction, the Taipa line between Ocean and Taipa Ferry Terminal, previously known as Macau-Taipa Line Phase I (Taipa section), began operations on 10 December 2019,[3] [4] [5] serving a total of 11 stations with 9.3 km in length.

The system closed on 19 October 2021 for six months to replace all of high voltage cables.[6]

The Taipa-Barra extension of 3.4 km opened on 8 December 2023, with service first covering Macau Peninsula.[7]
