The light rail runs from the terminal along the harbour: Glory Pier, Love Pier for the Music Center, Dayi and Penglai for Pier-2, Hamasen for the Cijin ferry. 06:30–22:30, every 10–15 minutes. The machines take coins only; iPASS and EasyCard work at the readers.
- 4 hr door to door needs a 6-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
