In Mainland China, Transmac operates bus services in Xinhui and Wuhu under the name Xinfuli. Before 2008, Xinfuli also operated in Guangzhou and Foshan, but this two cities's Xinfuli has been purchased by others.

Currently Transmac owns 3 depots in Macau and Taipa, namely Ilha Verde depot, Pac On Depot and Macau Tower Depot.

Nearly all of Transmac's operating buses are manufactured in mainland China. Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa minibuses and six Dennis Dart SLFs are the only non-Chinese buses currently operated by Transmac. First Chinese-made buses appeared at Transmac in 2005 and were manufactured by King Long. It was the only order from that company - most of later buses were ordered at Higer Bus. Also Huanghai Bus had to receive one order from Transmac.
