PCP says that talking about the metro on the Vouga Line is propaganda

The PCP criticized the Minister of Infrastructure's announcement regarding the potential extension of the Porto metro to Oliveira de Azeméis via the Vouga Railway, labeling it as government propaganda. The party expressed concerns about the government's apparent confusion over the 98-kilometer railway connecting Aveiro to Espinho, emphasizing that previous proposals suggested alternative solutions for the Vouga Line. They argue that the current plans threaten the railway's existence, favoring a bus rapid transit system instead. The PCP insists on maintaining the full length of the Vouga Line and calls for its reactivation, highlighting the need for quality public transport. They also proposed budget measures for the re-opening of the Oliveira de Azeméis to Sernada section and the expansion of the Porto metro.
