In an effort to enhance Macau’s urban environment and its development into a smart and green city, MGM and JCDecaux (Macau) Limited have joined hands to setup Macau’s first distinctive bus shelter outside MGM COTAI with one-of-a-kind contemporary design featuring a perfect blend of functionality, sustainability, and smart technology while harmonizes with its surroundings. Located at Avenida da Nave Desportiva right outside MGM COTAI, the bus shelter is in operation starting today for bus service of route 50, 701X and N5.

 

The groundbreaking project stems from MGM’s pledge in Making Great Moments for its visitors. This collaboration with JCDecaux (Macau) Limited demonstrates both parties’ commitment to optimize the public’s commute experience in the vicinity of MGM COTAI by providing ultimate comfort, convenience and real-time information to bus passengers.

 

First Bus Shelter in Macau Designed by Artificial Intelligence

This unique bus shelter incorporates MGM’s elements as well as its sustainability ethos. The design of the bus shelter was generated using artificial intelligence, drawing upon a series of crafted prompts from MGM Design Team. Following the initial concept generation, further testing and validation were conducted in collaboration with JCDecaux (Macau) Limited to ensure the structural integrity, safety and overall functionality.

 

Like other new bus shelters, this bus shelter is equipped with innovative smart features such as digital screens displaying real-time bus arrivals, weather updates, and civil protection messages. For passenger convenience, it provides USB charging ports and enhanced accessibility features including braille plate for visually impaired passengers and a spacious waiting area designed for those with reduced mobility.
