The Transport Bureau (DSAT) announced in a statement yesterday that 4.5 million public bus passengers were recorded during the mainland’s seven-day National Day Golden Week holiday period from October 1 to 7, a three percent increase compared to the same period last year.
The statement also said that the number of bus passengers a day hit a record high of 762,000 on October 4.
According to a previous DSAT statement, the new daily record replaced the previous record on May 2 this year, when 732,000 bus passengers were recorded.
Bus passengers queue at a temporary bus stop set up for the seven-day National Day Golden Week holiday period outside Macau Square in the city centre on October 4. The Transport Bureau (DSAT) set up this bus stop for bus routes 3 and 3X travelling in direction to the Barrier Gate checkpoint during the seven-day period, replacing the bus stop outside the OCBC Weng Hang Bank headquarters in Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro (San Ma Lou) during the period.
