Central bus station renovation planned without schedule

The Transport Bureau (DSAT) announced that the bus terminal at Praça Ferreira de Amaral will undergo renovation works. The announcement came from the department in a reply to lawmaker Lei Cheng I, who questioned DSAT regarding improving the facilities at the terminal.

Lei, in her inquiry written to DSAT, enquired as to the plans proposed by the authority to renovate the bus terminal.

Lei also asked if the authority is intending to send transportation officers to the site in order to offer direction to local residents and tourists.

DSAT answered by saying that the department is currently in the pre-planning stage, which will lead to a new design for the bus terminal.

Future strategy includes the building of a big canopy covering the terminal, a new layout of lanes, among other facilities.

However, the DSAT advised that a schedule is yet to be finalized for the renovation works.

The department also claims to have already requested bus companies to arrange for staff to be present during rush hours to manage traffic and passenger flow. DSAT also advised that it will cooperate with the bus companies seeking to improve head clearance within the terminal.
