A little island. A lot to discover.Travel for everyone
Here, there, together. Since 1968.

Built around
island life.

Some places are best understood on the way somewhere. Veyra is one of them.

Veyra’s terraced limestone town faces the Aurel Sea, with a public ferry crossing the sheltered harbor.
A city shaped by water. A network made to bring it together.
Meet Veyra

A small place.
A shared way of life.

Out in the Aurel Sea, the Veyra archipelago rises from a shelf of pale limestone. The main island curves around a sheltered southern harbor, with gardens to the west, an open eastern shore and a wooded ridge to the north. Two inhabited islands sit beyond it: Luma / Lantern Isle to the northeast, and Nera / Quiet Isle to the southeast.

Our 84,600 residents share 41 square kilometres of land. Summers are warm and dry; winters arrive with soft rain and strong sea winds. Life follows the morning market, the school bell and the light on the water. Public transport has to follow all three.

The first harbor settlements grew around communal wells and a signal lantern. A new breakwater in 1884 made year-round crossings possible. The city’s streets still follow the old paths between wells, which is why a short tram ride can feel like a journey through a much older world.

A network with a history

Growing with the island.

  1. 1896

    A track through the gardens.

    The first electric tram opens. Its route becomes today’s T1 · Reni / Garden Tram.

  2. 1968

    One authority, one promise.

    On 20 May, Veyra Transit Authority is founded by the island assembly to make everyday travel a public service.

  3. 1972–2004

    The city finds new connections.

    F1 · Mavi / Harbor Ferry joins in 1972. M1 · Arun / Dawn Line opens in 1982, followed by M2 · Vela / Ridge Line in 2004.

  4. 2013–today

    The outer islands come closer.

    F2 · Sela / Island Ferry joins the network in 2013. By 2024, all twelve stations have step-free access.

Two names. The same place.

A little Veyri
goes a long way.

Veyri is our island’s local language. Its short, open sounds grew from calling across the water. We put the Veyri name first and the English name beside it, on every sign, map and timetable. Either name will get you to the right place.

So M1 · Arun / Dawn Line is the first-light route, while Kora / Central Exchange is exactly what its name suggests: a place to come together.

The whole island is for everyone

Travel your way.

A little more time. A boarding ramp. Clearer directions. Tell us what makes your journey easier.

Step-free, from start to finish.

Every metro station has lifts. Tram stops have level boarding, and ferry crews deploy ramps at every landing. Wheelchair spaces are marked on every vehicle.

Information you can use.

Visual displays and spoken announcements give the next stop in Veyri and English. Tactile paving marks platform edges; high-contrast signs point to exits and lifts.

No need to rush.

Allow four minutes to change lines, or take longer if you prefer. Our staff can hold a boarding ramp while you get settled. Ferry gates close two minutes before departure.

A companion is welcome.

One companion travels free with a rider holding a Veyra Access Card. Assistance animals travel free and do not need a carrier. Ask our travel centre about getting an Access Card.

A quieter way to travel.

Weekday travel between 10:00 and 15:00 is usually calmer. Priority seats are for anyone who needs one, including people with a non-visible condition.

A person when you need one.

Call +887 20 40 100 between 06:00 and 23:30, or use a platform help point whenever services are running. You can request assistance in advance or ask on the day.
