Abstract

With the increasing demand for material and culture, today's urban residents are no longer satisfied with the current rigid infrastructure design. Therefore, it is very important to improve the overall image of the city through the implantation of the regional culture of the city, and to create an urban atmosphere with its own characteristics to solve the current problem of the city's "one-thousand-cities" problem. As a common tool for residents and tourists to travel daily, buses are widely used in cities and can subtly display and convey the spiritual connotation of the city. Therefore, this paper analyzes existing problems through field investigations of public transit stations in Macau, and combines Macau’s regional culture and related design theories, and proposes to meet Macau’s local characteristics from the aspects of function, shape, color, material and humanity.
