Kaohsiung Light Rail Experience Upgraded Again！ To meet the demand of a series of festive events along the light rail route such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day, the Kaohsiung City Government has specially changed the current trial operation mode (C1~C4) from a "no boarding, alighting only" policy to “allowing both boarding and alighting,” further enhancing the light rail experience beyond just transportation.

Wu Yilong, Director of the Metro Engineering Bureau, stated that the adjustments to the light rail trial operation mode are as follows: Passengers can now board and alight at C1 Lizizhinei Station (at the intersection of Kaisyuan and Yixin Roads), C2 Kaisyuan Ruitian Station (at the intersection of Kaisyuan and Ruitian Street), C3 Qianzhen Star Station (at the intersection of Kaisyuan and Zhongshan Roads), and C4 Kaisyuan Zhonghua Station (at the intersection of Kaisyuan and Zhonghua Roads). Those wishing to ride need only bring an EasyCard to enjoy free rides without the need for reservations. Operating hours and frequency will remain daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with one train every 30 minutes, the last train departing at 6:30 PM, totaling 20 services per day.
Four new stations now offer boarding and alighting services. (Image source / Kaohsiung Unbelievable)
Passengers coming to experience the light rail are reminded to bring their EasyCards to familiarize themselves with the ticketing process—there’s no deduction of funds and you might even win a big prize！ Additionally, during the C1～C4 operation period, the light rail mainly travels along three shared road sections: the intersections of Kaisyuan and Banqiao Roads, Kaisyuan and Zhongshan Roads, and Kaisyuan and Zhenxing Roads. Please pay attention to traffic signs, markings, and signals when crossing these intersections for safety.
Free rides are available with just an EasyCard. (Image source / Kaohsiung Unbelievable)
