The Nankō Port Town Line (南港ポートタウン線 Nankō Pōto-taun-sen?), also called New Tram, is an automated guideway transit service operated by Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau in Osaka, Japan. The line was constructed to serve the main public transportation for newly made Osaka South Port inhabitants and facilities. An extension of the line from Cosmosquare to Trade Center-mae was owned once operated by an Osaka City's subsidiary, Osaka Port Transport System (大阪港トランスポートシステム? OTS). The operation of the section was later merged to Osaka City itself to increase passengers by reducing fares then calculated separately.
