Ways\nof Accessing the New Campus<\/b><\/p>\n\n
Regarding bus routes to the new campus, the\npreliminary reply from the Transport Bureau is that there will be four government-operated\nbus routes to the new campus, with details as follows:<\/p>\n\n
1. From\nHac Sa Wan to the new campus<\/p>\n\n
2. From\nthe current UM library to the new campus<\/p>\n\n
3. From\nSeac Pai Van to the new campus<\/p>\n\n
4. From\nthe entrance of the underwater tunnel (Macao side) to the new campus<\/p>\n\n
In addition to the above-mentioned government-operated\nbus routes, UM will provide shuttle bus service between the current campus and\nthe new campus (with the bus stop near the Nova City or the Flower City). Also,\nconsidering that some postgraduate students will need to conduct lab tests and other\nwork on the current campus and won\u2019t be able to return to their dormitories on\nthe new campus until past midnight, the university will provide all-night\nshuttle bus service for the convenience of these students. UM staff and\nstudents who are not living near any of the above-mentioned bus stops can\nchoose any of the following options for accessing the new campus.<\/p>\n\n
1. Take\na bus at the entrance of the underwater tunnel on the Macao side and then\nchange onto new campus-bound buses (on-campus bus stops will mainly be\nestablished on the public road sections, including the Postgraduate Houses, the\nCentral Teaching Building\/the Library\/ the Administration Building\/the\nUniversity Hall, the bus terminal near the fire station)<\/p>\n\n
2. UM\nstaff and students who live in the Macao peninsula or Taipa could take a bus to\nthe current University Library and then change onto new campus-bound buses or\nshuttle buses provided by the university<\/p>\n\n
3. UM\nstaff and students who live in the Macao peninsula, Taipa or Coloane can also\ntake a bus to Seac Pai Van and then change onto new campus-bound buses.<\/p>\n\n
The frequency of the above-mentioned buses will be\nadjusted according to the actual needs of UM staff and students.<\/p>\n\n
Transport\nArrangements within the New Campus<\/b><\/p>\n\n
For environmental protection, only authorised\nvehicles will be allowed inside the new campus. How do UM staff and students\nget around the various buildings on the campus then? There are several options.<\/p>\n\n
1. Walk\nbetween buildings through the interconnecting covered corridors<\/p>\n\n
2. Ride\na bike<\/p>\n\n
3. Use\nthe on-campus shuttle bus service provided by the university.<\/p>\n\n
According to the current plan, bus stops will be\ndistributed throughout the new campus for maximum convenience. Bus stops will\nbe established near the Central Teaching Building\/the Library, the Administration\nBuilding, the Sports Complex, Faculty of Science and Technology\/Faculty of Health\nSciences, Humanities & Social Sciences Building\/Faculty of Business\nAdministration, Faculty of Law\/Faculty of Education, University\nMall\/Postgraduate Houses.<\/p>\n\n
