We’ve been bringing people together since 1968.
And there’s still so much to connect.
OUR HOME. YOUR EVERYDAY.A limestone island, two little neighbours, and a sea that shapes everything. This is Orra, in the Serein world’s sunlit Veil Sea.
Our main island stretches 18 kilometres from its wind-polished northern headland to the salt gardens in the south. Vela / Beacon Island and Liri / Little Island lie just off the eastern shore. A mild maritime climate gives us warm, dry summers and soft, rainy winters, with the occasional strong easterly that keeps our ferry crews watching the horizon.
Orra grew around Varo / Old Harbour, where glassmakers and salt traders shared the waterfront. The first public tram joined the harbour to the hill workshops in 1912. When the city reached the northern headland, separate ferry and tram operators could no longer keep up with an island moving together.
On 14 May 1968, the Orra Island Transit Authority was founded as a publicly owned service. Today, our two metro lines, two tram lines and one ferry route link 18 stops. Our promise hasn’t changed: useful connections, clear information, and a welcome for everyone.
Orin is the island’s own language. You’ll hear it in the market, at the pier, and in every welcome aboard.
We use Orin and English side by side, on every station sign, line, map and timetable. The Orin name comes first in journey information, followed by a slash and its English name. At stations, spoken announcements follow the same order.
Our mark joins two continuous paths around a shared centre: a small reminder that your journey and your neighbour’s journey are part of the same island story.
Access is part of the network, not an extra.
Here’s what you can expect when you travel.
All 18 stations and piers have step-free access. Metro platforms have lifts and tactile edges; trams have low floors and bridge plates. Ferry crews deploy a gangway at every sailing. Mobility aids up to 300 kg including their user can be accommodated.
All vehicles use visual stop displays and audible announcements in Orin and English. Ticket machines have tactile controls, audio guidance and a low-height screen. Hearing loops are available at staffed information desks.
For assistance, speak to staff or use a platform help point. No booking is required. For ferry gangway support or a planned group journey, call +887 20 40 100 a day ahead so the crew can prepare.
Assistance animals always travel free. An Orra Access Card includes one free companion. If a lift fails, use the help point: we arrange an accessible transfer at no additional fare.
We are accountable to the Orra Island Council and to the people who travel with us. Our seven-member public board includes two passenger representatives and one accessibility advocate. Public board meetings take place on the second Thursday of each month at 18:00 at our headquarters, 8 Ena Walk.
Metro and tram services run on the island’s wind-and-tidal electricity grid. Our ferry uses a battery-electric propulsion system charged at each terminus. We maintain vehicles locally and renew infrastructure in stages to keep Orra moving while we improve it.
