Lisbon’s municipal transport company, Carris, has revealed a raft of improvements to the city’s public transport network that it is seeking to implement over 2017-19. These are based on a list of 12 key strategic priorities.

An important element of the proposed measures is the creation of two new lines on the city’s electric tram network. These would run between between Entrecampos and Alta de Lisboa and Santa Apolónia and Gare do Oriente. Two viability studies will be carried out to ascertain the viability of these routes.
