The Sete Rios bus terminal in Lisbon is the stage for a conflict between Rede Expressos and FlixBus over the use of the facilities. The Authority for Mobility and Transport (AMT) is intervening to try to put an end to the dispute between the two road transport companies.
Rede Expressos, which has been operating at the terminal for over a decade, considers itself the legitimate user of the space, while FlixBus also wants to operate from that infrastructure. The central question concerns the conditions of access to the terminal and the commercial exploitation rights.
The AMT has been working to find a solution that allows both transport companies to operate at the terminal, while ensuring the quality of service provided to passengers. The regulation of access to road transport terminals is at the center of the discussions.
The Sete Rios terminal is one of the main departure and arrival points for intercity buses in the Portuguese capital, serving thousands of passengers daily. The resolution of this conflict is considered essential for the stability of the road transport sector in the Lisbon region.
