The planning network of the Macau Light Transit System

The Macau Light Transit System is a proposed mass transit system for the former Portuguese colony of Macau (now Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China). The LRT will serve the Macau Peninsula, Taipa island, Cotai reclamation area and Macau International Airport.

History

The Macau LRT was first proposed in 2003, but final go ahead was not given until a public announcement by the Government of Macau was made in October 2006. The line will provide better transportation options between the mainland portion of Macau with Cotai and Taipa and release pressure on the roads and bridges to the islands. It will be Macau's first rapid transit line. (Note: The LRT network image shown is outdated. The latest information can be obtained at http://www.git.gov.mo)

Technical Specifications

The proposed LRT system will be driverless and utilize a rubber-tyred system, similar to the Singapore Light Rapid Transit. The route will run along elevated guideways and underground tunnels, ensuring a dedicated right-of-way separated from road traffic.

Manufacturer : TBD
System operation : N/A
Gauge : Central guideway with rubber tyres
Maximum speed : N/A
Capacity : 400 (4 car set)
Unladen weight : N/A
Size : N/A

Construction

The estimated cost for the first phase of construction (of 23 stations) will be MOP$4.2 billion (about USD$523 million). This portion of the project will be paid and financed by the Government of Macau as a part of their comprehensive public transportation project.

Construction for the first phase of the project will take about 48 months to complete.

Rolling Stock

The LRT will use automated guided vehicles running on concrete track. No manufacturer has been identified or selected as of yet.

Based on the proposal, the cars will be arranged in a 4-cars set with passenger capacity of about 400 passengers. Peak ridership is predicted to be about at 8,800 passengers per hour per direction.

Facilities

TBD

Lines

The LRT network will consist of at least two phases:

Phase I Line
The line will connect major entry-exit points at the Macao Peninsula and the Taipa Island, the distribution of residents and working population, the tourist demand. The line will utilize reserved space in the lower deck of the Ponte de Sai Van (Sai Van Bridge) to connect to theTaipa island.

There will be 15 stations on Macau and 7 on Taipa.

Phase II Line
The line will connect the Barrier gate to A-Ma Temple passing through the inner harbour area, and eventually form a loop on the Macao peninsula.

Stations

The Macau LRT will have 23 to 27 stations along the three routes. No names or exact location of station other than the Border Gate station.

Fares and ticketing

No details on fare type and collection has been provided by the government. It will likely use smart card technology.

 ==History==
-Kildangan GAA was founded in 1925 and appeared in the 1925 Junior League Final against [[Two Mile House GAA|Two Mile House]]. No result of that match has been found. Kildangan had their first success when they won the Junior league in 1930. Their next appearance in a league final was in 1931, where after two replays, they were beaten by [[Straffan GAA|Straffan]] on a scoreline of 1-5 to 0-4. Kildangan made amends by winning the following years competition. Kildangan also had appearances in league finals in 1946 and 1952.
+The Macau LRT was first proposed in 2003, but final go ahead was not given until a public announcement by the [[Government of Macau]] was made in October [[2006]]. The line will provide better transportation options between the mainland portion of Macau with Cotai and Taipa and release pressure on the roads and bridges to the islands. It will be Macau's first rapid transit line.  (Note: The LRT network image shown is outdated.  The latest information can be obtained at http://www.git.gov.mo)
-Kildangan played their first championship final in 1936, where they were beaten by [[Celbridge GAA|Celbridge]], who scored 3-6 to Kildangans 1-2
-In 1942 Kildangan beat [[Cappagh GAA|Cappagh]] in the final of the Junior Championship, played on Nov 1st in Newbridge. The team which won this championship was as follows:- John (Shirty) Sexton, George Sexton, Jack Sexton, Eamonn Lawlor, Paddy Behan, Tommy Berns, Michael Ryan, Hal Conway, Jimmy Behan, John Joe Martin, Joseph Conlan, Tommy Behan, John Merrins, Bill Broderick, Michael O'Sullivan and Thomas Curran.<br />
-The winners were 1 point behind in the last minute when a goal by Midfielder Hal Conway secured victory. The previous year in 1941 they had been beaten in the final by [[Ardclough GAA|Ardclough]] and in 1943 they reached the Intermediate Final also against Ardclough. The score in the final was Ardclough 2-12 Kildangan 1-3, the game was played in front of a record attendance of 1658 spectators in Newbridge.<br />
-The following years were somewhat barren, and the club ceased to exist in the 1960s. Most of this can be attributed to high unemployment and an exodus of some of the more gifted players, such as Paddy and Eddie O'Loughlin to Round Towers.
-<br />
-The club was relaunched in 1970, some players from this era were John Casey, Noel Forde, Ollie Hickey, Eamon Foley, Willie Dunne, Paddy White, Pat Kelly and the Lawless brothers Jimmy and Aiden. This team contested a Junior Championship final against [[Robertstown GAA|Robertstown]] in 1980, in which Kildangan were narrowly beaten. Following this final the club once again folded due to a lack of players. However the underage scene remained active and many Kildangan underage players played on a joint Kildangan [[Nurney GAA|Nurney]] team.
+==Technical Specifications==
-==Reemergence==
-Things changed with the advent of the [[Celtic Tiger]] and the Club was re-established in 2001, mainly with players from surrounding clubs, many of whom had come up through the [[Nurney GAA|Nurney]] underage amalgamation and also, migrants to the area. Success followed rapidly and Kildangan won the Junior league in 2003. 2004 brought even more success, and Kildangan won the Junior league and then had a win over [[Sarsfields (Newbridge) GAA|Sarsfields]] in the Junior C final, on a scoreline of 0-14 to 0-10.<br />
-again saw Kildangan contest the Junior B final, against [[Caragh GAA|Caragh]] where they were beaten narrowly.<br />
-Kildangan GAA has placed a major emphasis on underage coaching since its re-establishment and the club now has a thriving underage section, with both boys and girls playing at in all underage categories up to minor.  In 2007, a ladies football team Nurney/Kildangan was established with players from Kildangan and Nurney.
