Buses and taxis are the major modes of public transport in Macau. [[Transmac|Bus]] services are frequent and inexpensive,<ref name="Buses in Macau">{{Cite web |url=http://www.tcm.com.mo/english/introduction.htm |title=About TCM |website=TCM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070430173516/http://www.tcm.com.mo/english/introduction.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=2007-04-30 |access-date=2007-05-24}}</ref> linking the [[Macau Peninsula|Macau peninsula]], [[Taipa]], [[Cotai]] and [[Coloane]].

Taxis are plentiful near the airport/Taipa ferry terminal, the Hong Kong-Macau and Taipa ferry terminal, and major gaming venues/hotels in the city <ref name="Taxi Service in Macau">{{cite web|url=http://www.cityguide.gov.mo/transport/taxi/taxi_e.asp |title=Public Transportation - Taxi Service |publisher=City Guide of Macau, Govt. of Macau |access-date=2007-05-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070407203709/http://www.cityguide.gov.mo/transport/taxi/taxi_e.asp |archive-date=April 7, 2007 }}</ref> though it is harder to get one during rush hours on the streets. Most of Macau's taxis have a black body with cream color top livery. Radio taxis are available for the black cabs.<ref name="Taxi Service in Macau" />{{not in citation|date=April 2020}}

In order to enhance the quality of taxi services, such as eliminate the language barrier between [[Taxicab|taxi]] drivers and passengers, the Tourist Office has provided most taxis with a destination guide which includes the names of the most requested destinations in [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and [[English language|English]].

The [[cycle rickshaw|trishaw]], a hybrid of the [[tricycle]] and the [[Pulled rickshaw|rickshaw]], is a unique mode of transport in Macau, though it is mainly for sightseeing purposes but they were a type of mainly used transportation system before the 1970s because of their cheap price. They can easily be found next to Hotel Lisboa and the Macau ferry terminal waiting for passengers.

===Railways===

There is one railway line open in Macau called the [[Macau Light Rail Transit]] system. Phase 1 of the Taipa line opened for operations in December 2019. Similar to the [[Light Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Singapore Light Rapid Transit]] system, the tracks will be a mix of [[Elevated railway|elevated]] guideways and tunnels, ensuring a dedicated right-of-way separated from road traffic. When completed it will serve passengers on Macau Peninsula, Taipa island, the Cotai reclamation area, the [[Macau International Airport]] and the [[Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge]].

Proposals have been put forward to link Macau to the Chinese railway network by extending the Guangzhou Railway (or, possibly, [[Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Mass Rapid Transit]]) to Cotai through [[Hengqin|Hengqin Island]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Macau - Meeting Point: a Legacy for the Future |pages=6 |year=1999 |publisher=Comissão Territorial de Macau para es Comemorações does Descobrimentos Portugueses}}</ref> However, no decisions have yet been made so far.

[[Zhuhai Railway Station]] of the [[Guangzhou–Zhuhai Intercity Railway]] terminates adjacent to the northern border entrance into Macau at [[Portas do Cerco]].

Other systems include the [[Cable Guia|Teleférico da Guia]] [[gondola lift]] system on [[Guia Fortress|Guia Hill]], and the Elevador Inclinado da Colina da [[Taipa Grande]], an [[inclined lift]].

===Others===
The Macau Maritime Museum<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.museumaritimo.gov.mo/index_e.html |title=Maritime Museum |website=Mariane and Water Bureau}}</ref> used to have two sailing vessels (which were based on the ancient "junk" form but were remodeled) serving for touring trips between the inner and outer harbours. Along the trip, the crew would introduce the general lifestyle and customs of the local boat dwellers. However, due to the [[land reclamation]] works in the harbour and the maintenance of the boats, all trips have been suspended.
