Metrobus reinforces service for Académica game

Campeão das Províncias28 August 2026 at 14:52

The Metrobus service will be reinforced on December 29th in both directions, between the Portagem and Vale das Flores stations, due to the forecast of high attendance for the game between Académica/OAF and Lusitânia de Lourosa. The information was announced by Metro Mondego, the company responsible for the light rail system in the Coimbra region.

The game is scheduled for 2:00 PM and will take place at Estádio Cidade de Coimbra. The company decided to increase the service frequency before and after the sporting event to ensure transport capacity for the fans.

Until 2:00 PM, Metrobus will operate with average frequencies of 7.5 minutes. During the match period, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, the frequency will be reduced to 15 minutes. Between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, the service will return to an average frequency of 7.5 minutes to accommodate the exit of spectators from the stadium.

Metro Mondego also warned about the need to comply with the rules for using the channel dedicated to Metrobus, which should not be used by unauthorized people or vehicles, for safety reasons.

O serviço Metrobus vai ser reforçado amanhã (29), em ambos os sentidos, entre as estações da Portagem e Vale das Flores, devido à afluência prevista para o jogo entre a Académica/OAF e o Lusitânia de Lourosa, anunciou a Metro Mondego.  

A partida está marcada para as 14h00, no Estádio Cidade de Coimbra, levando a empresa a aumentar a frequência do serviço antes e depois do encontro. 

Até às 14h00, o Metrobus terá frequências médias de 7,5 minutos, passando para 15 minutos entre as 14h00 e as 16h00, período correspondente à realização do jogo. Entre as 16h00 e as 18h00, a frequência média voltará a ser de 7,5 minutos, para responder à saída dos adeptos do estádio.  

A Metro Mondego alertou ainda para a necessidade de cumprimento das regras de utilização do canal dedicado ao Metrobus, que não deve ser utilizado por pessoas ou veículos não autorizados, por razões de segurança.
