The city of Porto is an interesting one from a public transport perspective, says Colin Douglas
It’s always good to keep an eye on what is happening overseas, in terms of technology and best practice. Some foreign towns and cities also offer interesting vehicle fleets; one of those is the city of Porto in Portugal, somewhere which might be familiar to many UK readers as a popular holiday destination.
Porto is often mistakenly cited as Portugal’s second largest city, though this actually refers to Porto and its neighbour Vila Nova de Gaia. They have a combined population of some 550,000 people. The twin cities sit on either side of the Douro River in the north of Portugal, some 175 miles from Lisbon, and near to where the Douro flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
