CMF, the funnel gang.

The Funchal City Council (CMF) is implementing BUS lanes on several historic streets of the city, including Rua 5 de Outubro, 31 de Janeiro and Visconde de Anadia, in an attempt to prioritize public transport. However, the measures include the elimination of parking spaces, prohibition of pedestrian crossing on Ponte do Pelourinho and restricted time windows for loading and unloading, which has generated criticism. The author warns of the "funnel effect" that will worsen traffic, harming the elderly, local commerce and Madeiran residents, accusing the municipality of prioritizing "resortification" over inhabitants. The Liberal Initiative and independent councilor Luís Filipe Santos warn that it will be necessary to rigorously monitor the results and have the humility to backtrack or adjust the plan if the negative impacts outweigh the benefits for collective transport.
