Q: I read from other blogs that it is wise to make use of the free shuttle buses in Macau. Does anyone have an idea how can I make use of it with my itinerary? I heard Macau is a small place, but still, I believe I can save so much time if I already have an idea where to ride beforehand.
Suggestions? Comments? I hope someone can help me with this! thanks so much!
