The {{Nihongo|'''Osaka Metro 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]] line in [[Suminoe-ku, Osaka]], Japan. The line is operated by [[Osaka Metro]], and was constructed to serve as the main public transportation for newly built Osaka South Port habitations and facilities. An extension of the line from Cosmosquare to Trade Center-mae was once owned and operated by an Osaka City's subsidiary, {{Nihongo|Osaka Port Transport System Co., Ltd.|大阪港トランスポートシステム||extra=OTS}}. The operation of the section was later merged to Osaka City transportation itself to increase the number of passengers by reducing fares previously calculated separately.

The Osaka Metro 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 line in Suminoe-ku, Osaka, Japan. The line is operated by Osaka Metro, and was constructed to serve as the main rapid transit line for newly built Osaka South Port habitations and facilities. An extension of the line from Cosmosquare to Trade Center-mae was once owned and operated by a subsidiary of the City of Osaka, Osaka Port Transport System Co., Ltd. [ja]. The operation of the section was later merged into Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau itself to increase the number of passengers by reducing fares and simplifying the previously separate fare structures.
