Park and ride coming to Coimbra
The municipality of Coimbra has approved the re-launch of the first phase of the “Ecovia” transport system, including a park and ride service linked to electric buses.
Manuel Machado resumes a project developed and pioneered in Portugal and the Iberian peninsula, in the 90s by the same mayor, but which was later abandoned, which will now be served by 100 percent electric buses dedicated to transporting people to the city centre.
Initially, according to Manuel Machado, it will work with five lines. “It will work with the necessary vehicles already purchased for the service, which associates the transportation of people with the car park”, the mayor said.
