Over 100 thousand people have already joined the free public transport pass on Porto's municipal card. This number represents significant enrollment in the program implemented in the city.

About half of the participants are new enrollments in the social pass. This indicates that the program is attracting many users who previously did not use public transport or who did not have access to discounted passes.

The free pass is available on Porto's municipal card, which is the instrument through which citizens can access this urban mobility benefit.
