Abstract

This essay provides a comprehensive analysis of Macao's transportation system, focusing on aviation, railways, buses, and ferries, and offers suggestions for improvement. The aviation sector is examined in terms of airport location, capacity, current status, and future development plans. The railway system is evaluated for its convenience, environmental impact, accessibility, and passenger safety measures, while also highlighting areas for improvement such as consumer experience and design. The public transport network is assessed for its coverage, vehicle condition, service quality, and resilience to major environmental changes like epidemics and financial crises. The reliability, frequency, comfort, and economic contribution of ferry services are also scrutinized. The essay aims to propose measures to enhance Macao's transportation convenience, tourist experience, and sustainable tourism development.
