Metro Mondego logs 26 car intrusions on metrobus lane, 13 fined

Metro Mondego says 26 cases of cars wrongly using the dedicated metrobus lane serving Coimbra, Lousã and Miranda do Corvo were recorded between January and 9 September, the day before the service was extended. Thirteen were reported to the authorities and led to administrative offence notices issued by the PSP. Those came after procedures were agreed with the PSP in Coimbra and the GNR in Lousã and Miranda do Corvo; the others predate that arrangement. The company stresses that vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders are banned from the lane. It will wait at least six months of data before assessing intrusions since the extension.
