Metrobus expands operations in Coimbra today, forcing traffic and bus changes
The Metrobus system expands today, September 10, to Coimbra-B and Praça da República, causing significant traffic restrictions in the Baixa district, including one-way traffic on Rua da Sofia. Over 20 SMTUC public bus lines have been reconfigured to avoid overlapping with Metrobus, requiring passengers to make transfers at interfaces like Arnado, Praça da República, and Solum, which may involve short walks between stops.
Why it mattersIf you live in or commute through Coimbra, expect significant traffic changes in the city centre and reconfigured bus routes; if you use public transit, check your route as 20+ lines have changed and transfers may now be required.
