There are several ways to travel from Hong Kong to Macau, but the TIL Chinalink bus is affordable and convenient. It passes through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, so it is less affected by weather and you can travel comfortably even if you have a lot of luggage. This time, we have summarized the points to make sure you can get on the bus smoothly using the electronic ticket booked on Trip.com.
What is the TIL Chinalink bus?
The TIL Chinalink bus is a long-distance bus that connects Hong Kong and Macau, and can go directly from major areas in Hong Kong city (Kowloon and Hong Kong Island) to Macau. It passes through immigration at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge on the way, but there is no need to transfer, so it is easier than a ferry.
How to book the bus
You can purchase an electronic ticket in advance on Trip.com. You can make a reservation on your smartphone, so it is safe to prepare it before arriving in Hong Kong.
Notes about electronic tickets
If you book on Trip.com, you cannot use the electronic ticket as it is, and you need to exchange it for a physical ticket at the counter at the bus terminal.
Exchange location: TIL Chinalink counter at each bus terminal
Requirements: Present your reservation number or QR code
It may take some time to exchange your ticket, especially during peak hours, so it's best to arrive at least 30 minutes before the bus departs.
How to board the bus
1. Receive your ticket at the counter in advance
2. Prepare your passport before boarding the bus (as you will have to go through immigration twice, on the Hong Kong and Macau sides)
3. Board the bus and head to Macau via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
Transportation after arrival
After arriving at Macau's main bus terminal, you can take a taxi or the casino's free shuttle bus to your destination.
Summary
TIL Chinalink buses are a convenient option for travel from Hong Kong to Macau. However, e-tickets cannot be used as they are and must be exchanged for physical tickets at the counter, so we recommend arriving at the bus terminal with plenty of time to spare.
