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 (Note: The LRT network image shown is outdated.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 Phase I line will run along elevated guideways, 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 Phase I Macau LRT will have 23 stations. The names or exact locations of stations will be announced in the near future.

Fares and ticketing

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

-== Data Summary ==
-eGRID data include emissions, different types of emission rates, [[electricity generation]], resource mix, and heat input.  eGRID data also include [[power station|plant]] identification, location, and structural information.  The emissions information in eGRID includes [[carbon dioxide]] (CO<sub>2</sub>), [[nitrogen oxides#NOx|nitrogen oxides]] (NO<sub>x</sub>), [[sulfur dioxide]] (SO<sub>2</sub>), and [[Mercury (element)|mercury]] (Hg).  CO<sub>2</sub> is a [[greenhouse gas]] (GHG) that contributes to [[global warming]] or [[climate change]].  NO<sub>x</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> contribute to unhealthy air quality and [[acid rain]] in many parts of the country.  Hg is a toxic pollutant that can adversely affect exposed nervous systems.  eGRID's resource mix information includes the following [[fossil fuel]] resources:  [[coal]], [[Fuel oil|oil]], [[Natural gas#Power generation|gas]], other fossil; [[Nuclear fuel|nuclear resources]]; and the following [[renewable resources]]: [[hydroelectric]] (water), [[biomass]] (including renewable methane, [[Biogas|landfill gas and digester gas]]), [[wind power|wind]], [[solar power|solar]], and [[geothermal power|geothermal]].
+*Manufacturer : TBD
-Data in eGRID2006 are presented in two [[Microsoft Office Excel|Excel]] workbooks.  The first workbook contains data at the [[boiler]], [[Electrical generator|generator]] and [[power station|plant]] levels.  The second workbook presents aggregated data by State, electric generating company, parent company, power control area, eGRID subregion, NERC region, and the U.S.  The eGRID2006 Technical Support Document and summary tables with regional maps are included in two [[PDF]] files.  These four files are contained in a [[ZIP (file format)|ZIP]] file that can be downloaded from [http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/egrid/index.htm eGRID’s website].

-The primary data sources used for eGRID include data reported by electric generators to [http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets EPA’s Clean Air Markets Division] (pursuant to 40 CFR Part 70) and to the U.S. [[Energy Information Administration]] (EIA).
-== Data Use ==
+==Construction==
+The estimated cost for the first phase of construction (of 23 stations) will be [[Macanese pataca|MOP$]]4.2 billion (about [[United States dollar|USD$]]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.
-The eGRID data are specifically used for EPA tools such as [http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/powerprofiler.htm Power Profiler], [http://www.epa.gov/climateleaders/docs/indirectelectricityguidance.pdf Climate Leaders' Greenhouse Gas Inventory Protocol], [http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=evaluate_performance.bus_portfoliomanager Portfolio Manager], and [http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ind_calculator.html Personal Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator].
+Construction for the first phase of the project will take about 48 months to complete.
-[[Nongovernmental organizations]] (NGOs) also use eGRID data.  For example, the [http://www.otcair.org/document.asp?fview=Report Ozone Transport Commission’s (OTC) Emission Reduction Workbook], the [http://www.ghgprotocol.org/ World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Initiative], the [http://www.energyfinder.org Rocky Mountain Institute's Community Energy Opportunity Finder], and the [http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/benchmarking/default.asp Natural Resources Defense Council’s Benchmarking Air Emissions] use eGRID data.
+==Rolling Stock==
-For States and regions, eGRID data support policies and initiatives such as for electricity labelling and environmental disclosure, [[Renewable Portfolio Standard|Renewable Portfolio Standards]] (RPS), [[Renewable Energy Certificates|Renewable Energy Credits]] (RECs) attributes, and the [[Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative]] (RGGI).  They also rely on eGRID data for [[emission inventory|emission inventories]], the foremost climate registry (the [http://www.climateregistry.org California Climate Action Registry]), and for policy decisions/impacts such as output-based emission standards.  Some States also publish State specific eGRID data on the web.
