Coimbra's transport network will only change during the holidays of 2027

The complete restructuring of Coimbra's urban transport network is set for late June 2027, according to SMTUC's president. While the metrobus service is expected to fully operate by the end of March 2027, changes to the transport network will occur during school holidays to allow for a smoother transition. This decision contrasts with earlier plans to implement changes alongside the metrobus expansion. The aim is to avoid overwhelming users with simultaneous changes during peak times. Public consultation for the restructuring will begin in January 2027, allowing for thorough preparation and adjustments based on user feedback.
