Bragança public transport free throughout the municipality from December

Starting 1 December, all public transport within Bragança will be free for residents who hold the Cartão do Munícipe. This includes both the municipal STUB urban service and the 12 routes operated by private companies that previously required payment.

Why it matters

If you live in Bragança, you can travel for free across the entire municipality from 1 December, provided you have a Cartão do Munícipe, which you can request online or in person.
