Fewer buses to Hac Sa and Cheoc Van as of Saturday

From this coming Saturday, the bus trips in and out of the Hac Sa and Cheoc Van areas will be more difficult as route 25 will see its course adjusted, the Transport Bureau (DSAT) announced in a statement.

The announced adjustments will see all bus stops from Coloane Village to Hac Sa Beach cancelled.

The other stops will remain the same until the “Estrada do Campo/PSP-1” stop, at which point the route will move to a new terminal stop located at Largo do Presidente António Ramalho Eanes in Coloane Village, named “Vila de Coloane.” Upon reaching this stop, the return route will commence.

As such, the only remaining options for people wishing to travel to and from Hac Sa and Cheoc Van areas will be via routes 15, 21A and 26A.

According to the same DSAT statement, the adjustments to route 25 will also allow the frequency of the route to be adjusted to between 4 to 18 minutes, with intervals between buses becoming shorter during peak hours and reduced frequency of services during weekends.

The DSAT also informed that the new stop “Vila de Coloane” will also be used as a new stopping point for route 50 which connects Praça Ferreira do Amaral to the village of Coloane.
Such changes aim to meet passenger demand and to respond to an increase of passengers in Border Gate, Central, Seac Pai Van and Coloane Village areas. RM
