CAM demands review of transport contracts

SAPO15 September 2026 at 18:00

CAM (the sector association) demanded the review of transport contracts currently in force, warning of the urgent need to adjust the conditions agreed between companies and contracting entities.

The CEO of the organization highlighted that the operational costs of transport companies have been significantly increasing, creating financial pressure on the sector and threatening the sustainability of services provided.

According to the executive, the implementation of free public transport further aggravated the financial situation of companies, which now face a reduction in revenues without the costs associated with operations having decreased to the same extent.

The entity defends that a重新平衡amento between contractual commitments and the current economic reality is necessary, otherwise many companies may have difficulties in maintaining the quality of service provided to users.

Why this matters

Readers who use public transport in the region may face changes in services if companies cannot balance their accounts. The situation follows the worsening of operational costs and the maintenance of free services, which jeopardizes the financial viability of transport companies.

Buying a used car? These signs can reveal it was already a TVDE

When buying a used car in Portugal, it is important to know how to identify if the vehicle was previously used as a TVDE (Uber, Bolt), as it may have accumulated more wear and tear than it appears. The main signs include high mileage compared to the car's age, inspections more frequent than normal (TVDE vehicles undergo annual inspection from the first year), unusual wear on rear seats and door handles, marks on the windscreen from mounts or cameras, and traces of old stickers. The law approved in 2026 reinforces the identification of these vehicles with anti-fraud elements. A former TVDE vehicle is not necessarily a bad purchase, but the buyer should adjust the price and condition assessment, always requesting the complete documentary history and an independent mechanical evaluation before closing the deal.
