As of 2020, 600,000 passengers use the light rail system daily. The light rail system was suspended on 13 June 2021 due to the Delta variant. Service on two lines (101 and 104) resumed on 1 July 2021, but the remaining lines had to suspend service indefinitely until international borders reopen. Meanwhile, services on the remaining light rail lines are provided by buses.
