‘Step Out, Experience Macau’s Communities’ Bus Highlight Tour Routes Optimized
‘Step Out, Experience Macau’s Communities’ Bus Highlight Tour routes consolidated into two routes with earlier departures
Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) rolled out the 'Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities' Bus Highlight Tour on three circular routes via a local travel agency this Summer. On 19th October, in a further rationalization of the programme, the Tourist Office amalgamated the routes into two in order to more effectively connect points across the eight themed 'Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities' walking tour routes. To further optimize this product, the new Bus Highlight Tour will operate with earlier departures.
Both circular routes take approximately one hour and forty-five minutes to complete. The Macau Peninsula Line operates seven runs a day, stopping at Macau Ferry Terminal, Macau Fisherman's Wharf - Harbourview Hotel Macau, Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre, Fortune Business Centre, Pousada de São Tiago, Praça de Ponte e Horta - Sun Sun Hotel, Border Gate, Kun Iam Temple and Tap Seac Square - Hotel Royal Macau. In addition, the Taipa-Coloane Line will operate four runs a day, stopping at Macau Ferry Terminal, Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal, Macau International Airport, Rua do Cunha (Taipa) and Largo do Presidente António Ramalho Eanes (Coloane). For both routes, the first bus will depart earlier, at 10:30am daily, while the last bus will depart at 5:00pm.
By signing up for one bus pass, passengers can get another bus pass for free as a special offer. In addition, passengers can enjoy free Wi-Fi service on board and MGTO will update its mobile App and Wechat ID account regarding its introduction of the Bus Highlight Tour. As a result, visitors can comfortably travel around different districts and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed 'The Historic Centre of Macao' in a breezy, carefree environment with photo ops galore!
An onboard guide will provide a running commentary on the sights along each route, in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, while passengers are at liberty to hop off at different stops for a sightseeing stroll around local districts that pique their interest. In addition, visitors can obtain a leaflet - in English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese - about the 'Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities' Bus Highlight Tour at any of MGTO's Tourist Information counters and hotels in Macau for free.

MGTO will closely monitor the operating status of the bus routes, while remaining open to suggestions and making a continuous effort to evaluate and optimize the product so that visitors can explore Macau's diverse neighbourhoods at leisure whilst discovering more fascinating dimensions of multi-faceted Macau and its enchanting cityscape.
