Casinos pledge to invest in e-friendly buses

The region’s six casino operators have pledged to introduce renewable energy or electric shuttle bus services for their guests and the trial run for this service will start with the Cotai Connection route. In a joint press release issued yesterday, it was mentioned that, in order to alleviate road traffic, “the six operators launched collective bus services last year, shuttling passengers between different properties of each operator.” The gaming operators have made a commitment to the Transport Bureau that at least 15 percent of each operator’s shuttle buses will be running on renewable energy or electric sources by May 2018. The trial run of the renewable energy/electric shuttle bus services started on September 19. “It is expected the new energy/electric shuttle bus services will optimize Macau’s transportation, enhance the overall environment for residents and visitors, and support Macau’s development into a world-class capital of green tourism,” according to the press release.
