Metro Mondego exceeds two million validations since January

Diário de Coimbra2 September 2026 at 16:15

A Metro Mondego reached more than two million validations since January, indicating significant growth in the use of the mobility system in the region.

The metro network currently operates partially, serving only some stations of the planned route.

A service expansion to Coimbra-B and Praça da República stations is planned, marking a significant expansion of the network's coverage.

The expansion to these two stations is scheduled for September 10, and should extend metro access to more areas of the city.

These drivers can be 'blocked' at the entrance to one of the country's busiest roads starting from this date

From September 15th, certain heavy goods vehicles are prohibited from circulating on the Inner Ring Road (VCI) in Porto, on weekdays between 7am and 9pm. The restriction applies to vehicles with gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg, three or more axles, and height equal to or greater than 1.1 meters, generally covering toll classes 3 and 4. The objective is to divert through heavy traffic to the Porto Outer Regional Circular (CREP), where the same vehicles benefit from toll exemptions. Vehicles with loading or unloading operations in Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia can circulate upon prior authorization obtained through a digital platform. Circulating without authorization constitutes a minor offense punished with a fine between 150 and 750 euros.
