"It was all done hastily": Change of more than 20 lines leaves users confused in Coimbra

Notícias de Coimbra9 September 2026 at 19:18

The changes to more than 20 public transport lines in Coimbra, motivated by the expansion of the 'metrobus', left many users confused. The change came into effect only one day after it was announced, which provoked criticism from those who use the service daily.

Several passengers expressed their displeasure at the way the transition was managed. The expression "it was all done hastily" summarizes the feeling of those who believe there was not enough time to prepare or to understand the new routes.

The expansion of the 'metrobus' in Coimbra aims to improve mobility in the city, but the accelerated implementation ended up generating practical problems for users of the public transport system.
