Reported byEU Today ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Porto, Portugal's second-largest city, launched free public transport on July 10, 2026, for all residents across metro, buses, trams, suburban rail and river services in the metropolitan area, expected to cost €20–25 million annually and aimed at reducing car use.

Worth noting

Long-term success depends on sustained municipal funding and how demand affects actual cost.
