From October 16, passengers can use an EasyCard to board the light rail for free at C1 Lizihnei Station (at the intersection of Ketagalan Boulevard and Yixin Road). The first train departs at 9:00 AM, and the last at 6:30 PM, with trains running every 30 minutes for a total of 20 services. No boarding or alighting is allowed en route. Passengers can travel from C1 to C4 and then return to C1.

This riding eventaims not only to help light rail passengers familiarize themselves with self-service ticket validation at platforms or inside carriages using an EasyCard,and the method of pressing buttons to open doors when boarding or alighting—features different from those of the MRT or buses—but also to help general road users understand and comply as early as possible with the new concepts and facilities introduced by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for road sections shared with the light rail,such as the light rail’s right of way,and the audiovisual signals for mass rapid transit.At the same time, it allows relevant departments to accumulate relevant supporting experience early on.

[Info]
To avoid long queues for passengers eager to try out the service, the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation has planned a reservation system,officially opening online reservations (goo.gl/rfi4aY)and phone bookings (07-7939676) on October 8 for those wishing to take the ride.
◎ Each service will have 120 reserved spots available, along with 30 spots for walk-in passengers. Those wishing to ride on-site must queue on the day to collect a trial ride ticket. Each person is limited to collecting four tickets, and they must be for the same service.
