The Taipa line (Chinese: 氹仔線; Portuguese: Linha da Taipa) is the first Macau Light Rapid Transit line, which opened on 10 December 2019. The automated guideway transit line has a U-shaped route within the island of Taipa and currently connects 12 stations; a link to Macau Peninsula officially opened on 8 December, 2023.

Timeline

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 124 km (77 mi) 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]
