One third metro, two thirds metrobus: linking Trofa to Maia should take two and a half years

Público2 September 2026 at 21:23

More than 20 years after being promised, the project aiming to link the municipalities of Trofa and Maia through a transport system that combines two transport modes entered public consultation. The works foresee that one third of the journey will be made by metro and two thirds by metrobus, in an investment that aims to improve mobility between these two municipalities.

The project includes the creation of parking areas along the route, in order to facilitate passenger access to the transport system. The recovery of old railway buildings existing in the region is also foreseen, taking advantage of the historical heritage linked to the railway.

The estimated deadline for the completion of the works is two and a half years after the start of construction. The public consultation now open allows citizens to learn the details of the project and present their contributions before the definitive implementation.

Would it be the same in Portugal? European courts decided this when electric cars did not meet the promised range

European courts, including the Landgericht Wuppertal in Germany and the Cour d'appel de Toulouse in France, decided cases in favor of buyers of electric cars that did not achieve the promised range from the manufacturer. In a German case, a vehicle with an advertised WLTP range of 332-341 km achieved only 282 km in expert testing, resulting in the return of the vehicle for 33,749.95 euros. In France, a Peugeot e-Partner with a promise of 170 km range revealed only 131 km, leading to contract resolution. However, in another German case, a buyer of a used Volkswagen e-Golf was unable to recover the money because a direct comparison with the range of a new vehicle was not considered valid. In Portugal, the law allows action against the seller for lack of conformity, but there is no automatic 10% margin to return vehicles, requiring case-by-case evaluation.
