The “bus passenger real name registration scheme” will come to an end on 10 February, when all Macau Pass holders will enjoy travel discounts, the Transport Bureau has announced.

Considering the need of Macau Pass holders to report lost cards, the bureau pointed out, the personal data of the “bus passenger real name registration scheme” will be erased on 10 May, three months after the termination of the scheme.

Macau Pass holders may register their personal data with Macau Pass during the three-month interim period to continue to use the loss-reporting function based on their personal needs.

The government launched the “bus passenger real name registration scheme” in November 2021 because of the need to track passengers who caught the same public buses as confirmed Covid-19 cases.

During this period, more than 590,000 Macau Pass accounts were registered, with over 600,000 Macau Pass cards activated, The Macau Post Daily reported.
