Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, with the length of 55km, is the world’s longest cross-sea bridge. Built from 2009 to 2018, it is one of the world’s wonder of bridge engineering. This bridge connects Hongkong, Zhuhai and Macau, with which local people could transfer between these places more convenient than ever. Since it was put into use in late 2018, this bridge has attracted many tourists. You could take bus on the bridge to travel from Hong Kong to Macau. The total time you need from the Hong Kong Port to Macau Port is the same for each of the following 3 kinds of buses, which is nearly 2 hours.

However, every one of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, you need to take all your luggages and deal with your Entry and Exit Procedures when arriving at Hong Kong Port and then get on bus again, although you can easily take Direct Bus in the Hong Kong city. On the other hand, shuttle bus only takes you to across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, and you need to take another bus or car between downtown area and two ports, although you don’t need to get off the bus in halfway (You should first deal with your Entry and Exit Procedures and then get on the shuttle bus).
