Jockey Club station (Chinese: 馬會站; Portuguese: Estação Jockey Clube) is a station on Taipa line of the Macau Light Rapid Transit, located within two-minute walking distance of Macau Jockey Club.

History[edit]

Jockey Club station was originally named "賽馬會站" in Chinese, and was planned to be around 100 metres west of the present location, until the proposal was updated in 2009.[1] Building work of this and other three stations in Taipa began in 2012,[2] and later that year Estrada Gov. A. Oliveria Public Transport Interchange also started construction. Jocky Club station work was completed in 2016,[3] but the opening was delayed due to ongoing work at Taipa line train depot.

The station opened on 10 December 2019 along with the Taipa line,[4] and the nearby public transport interchange opened 18 days later.[5]

Two side platforms are on the second floor, and ticket hall is located on the first floor. Passengers may exit for public transport interchange on the first floor or for bus stops on the ground floor.
