Hong Kong & Macao International Airport Transportation Service Company Limited has announced an expansion of its bus services between the Macau Boundary Crossing Facilities and Hong Kong Airport. This initiative aims to accommodate the anticipated surge in travelers during the upcoming summer vacation period.
Increased Frequency and Extended Hours
Starting from July 15th through August 31st, the Macau Hong Kong Airport Direct bus, which utilizes the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB), will see an increase in its service frequency. Originally operating 32 trips per day, the service will be boosted to 38 trips per day. This enhancement is designed to ensure more convenient travel options for passengers.
Extended Operating Hours
To further facilitate travelers, the operating hours of the direct bus service will also be extended. The last bus departing from Hong Kong Airport to the Macau Boundary Crossing Facilities will now leave at 11 pm, allowing passengers arriving late to still catch transportation. Similarly, the last bus from Macau to Hong Kong Airport will depart at 9 pm, accommodating outbound travelers until later in the evening.
Addressing Summer Travel Demands
With the approach of summer vacation, the demand for transportation services between Macau and Hong Kong International Airport is expected to rise significantly. This includes both Macau residents traveling abroad and international travelers arriving in the region. Recognizing these trends, Hong Kong & Macao International Airport Transportation Service Company Limited aims to provide more efficient and accessible travel solutions.
Anticipated Visitor Influx and Occupancy Rates
According to MGTO Deputy Director Cheng Wai Tong, July typically sees an average daily visitor arrival of around 87,000 individuals. This figure is expected to escalate during the summer vacation period. Consequently, the hotel occupancy rate is projected to surpass 90%, highlighting the need for reliable transportation options to and from the airport.
As preparations intensify for the upcoming summer vacation period, Hong Kong & Macao International Airport Transportation Service Company Limited is taking proactive steps to enhance transport services. By increasing the frequency and extending the operating hours of the Macau Hong Kong Airport Direct bus, the company aims to provide travelers with reliable and convenient transportation options. This initiative not only addresses the expected surge in passenger numbers but also underscores the commitment to facilitating smooth travel experiences between Macau and Hong Kong airports.
