Integrated shuttles set for trial

In compliance with the transportation policy of the government, gaming operators Galaxy Entertainment Group, Melco Crown Entertainment and Sands China have announced the trial period for an integrated shuttle bus service. The new service, named the “Cotai Connection,” seeks to do away with the independent shuttle bus services for the three gaming operators, and instead establish a single route.  The operating hours of the trial service will be from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily with 15 – 20 minute intervals between shuttles. It will serve Galaxy Macau, Broadway Macau, Studio City, City of Dreams, The Venetian Macao and Sands Cotai Central. The “Cotai Connection” will commence a three-month trial period from June 6.

App for modifying contact information launched

The Identification Services Bureau (DSI) has introduced a new mobile application, “DSI Service Station,” for residents to easily modify their contact information. Applicants aged 18 or over can download the mobile application with their Android devices. Applicants would need to enter the confirmation information for authentication to establish an encrypted communication channel between the DSI’s server and the identity card. According to a statement from the bureau, the confirmation information can either be entered manually or through the QR code at the back of the identity card.
