The Macau Pass has four types of different cards, for certain age groups (much like the Octopus card in Hong Kong). The four are:

• Anonymous (Green and Vitality Red) (a deposit of MOP$30.00 alongside an initial value of MOP$100.00 is required for card purchasing)
• Senior Citizen (Pink)
• Student (Sky Blue)
• Disabled People (Brown)

Customised employee badges and membership cards for companies and organisations are also available.^[3]

Macau Pass has a variety of uses. They are:^{[citation needed]}

• Parking Systems (saves parking ticket issuing, therefore environmentally-friendly)
• Restriction Gates (must use a personalized Macau Pass, with the feature added)
• Apartment Recognition (for apartments with a security feature, must use card for access)
• VIP Cards

The Macau Pass does not have any discount when purchasing merchandise and using at restaurants. However, the government and the company had decided that the government will subsidize the difference from the discounts below on bus fares. The Transmac IC Card did not accept this offer.^{[citation needed]}

• Adult/personalised card holders can enjoy a discounted bus fare of:

MOP$3.00 bus fare on regular routes.(including night buses)

MOP$4.00 bus fare on express routes.(including 3AX, 3X, 5AX, 5X, 10X, 25AX, 30X, 101X, 102X, AP1X)

• Student/child card holders enjoy a discount on bus fare of:

MOP$1.50 bus fare on regular routes.(including night buses)

MOP$2.00 bus fare on express routes.(including 3AX, 3X, 5AX, 5X, 10X, 25AX, 30X, 101X, 102X, AP1X)

• Elders/disabled card holders are exempt from bus fares.^[4]

When Macau Pass was still called the "Transmac IC Card", its operator, Transmac decided that cardholders could have a free "transfer".^{[citation needed]} However, under certain circumstances the card holder must pay a fare under MOP$3.00. (E.g., on a trip from the Border Gate to the M.U.S.T.,^{[clarification needed]} if going to ride route 3A to Praça Ferreira Amaral to interchange to route MT2, the Green Macau Pass must be tapped on the reader, and the display will show 0.50. The exact fare to pay with the card was MOP$1.00, but the government supported MOP$0.50.) The details on transfers are located at the bottom.

Transfers made within an hour are free of charge.

• All Macau Passes and Transmac IC Cards DO NOT have the transfer offer for Macau-Taipa Routes coming back to Macau Peninsula and the fare display (On Macau Pass reader) displays $3.20
• TCM offers transfer offers for Macau Pass holders. Details available at TCM's website.^[5]
