Starting October 16, passengers can use an EasyCard to board the light rail free of charge at C1 Lizizai 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 will be allowed mid-route. Passengers can ride from C1 to C4 and then return to C1.

This riding eventis designed not only to help light rail passengers familiarize themselves with self-service ticket validation using an EasyCard on the platform or inside the train,and the process of pressing buttons to open doors when boarding and alighting—features different from those on the MRT or buses—but also to allow general road users to quickly understand and comply with the new concepts and facilities introduced by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for road sections shared with the light rail,such as priority right-of-way for the light railand transit signal priority systems.It will also help relevant agencies accumulate early experience with supporting measures.
