Did you know these light rail tips and tricks? Here’s your quick and easy guide to make the most of Kaohsiung’s light rail system!
- Remember to tap your card when you board and when you get off!
- Ticket validators are located at both ends of the platform. Don’t forget to tap before getting on and again after getting off. Ticket inspectors may conduct random checks, and forgetting to tap could result in a fine!
- Hey students! Using a digital student card and just realized you’re out of credit? No worries! Top-up in cash at any of the following locations:
- Any MRT station
- Convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, OK Mart)
- McDonald’s
- PX Mart
Or skip the lines and go contactless: use the iPASS MONEY app to scan your ride code and enter directly.
No change needed, no queues — just a smarter way to travel!
