The MetroTram in Porto, Portugal 2022

The Porto Metro (Portuguese: Metro do Porto), part of the public transport (mass transit) system of Porto, Portugal, is a light rail network that runs underground in central Porto and above ground into the city's suburbs. Metro do Porto S.A. was founded in 1993, and the first line of the system opened in 2002.
The network has 6 lines and reaches seven municipalities within the metropolitan Porto area: Porto, Gondomar, Maia, Matosinhos, Póvoa de Varzim, Vila do Conde and Vila Nova de Gaia. It currently has a total of 82 operational stations across 67 kilometres (42 mi) of double track commercial line. Most of the system is at ground level or elevated, but 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of the network is underground. The system is run by ViaPORTO.
The Metro uses modern Eurotram low-floor, articulated trams. New Flexity Swift LRVs are used on line B, Bx and occasionally line C since 2008, and can reach 100 km/h (62.5 mph). They also have more seats, and can, in common with most modern light rail systems, recover 30% of the total of consumed energy during braking.
The majority of services run with two LRVs coupled together. The Eurotram consists of four main compartments, two in each carriage linked by short corridors, and also features an articulation between the two carriages. They have a capacity of 80 seated and 134 standing passengers.

Very interesting system. It’s sort of a tram, metro, and light commuter rail combined. The rolling stock is also interesting because the low-floor trains looks huge for a tram. The doors are also very wide.

Indeed. This tram/light rail looks amazing!

Very beautiful!

Despite some technical issues these old Siemens trams looks more beatuful and still ultra-modern than these new Bombardier. Love them. I rode them in Strasbourg quite a long time ago.

[@Antonio88870]

both of the tram models used on the Porto Metro system are made by Bombardier

[@wowomanipulations9779]

@@Antonio88870 It was a mistake from my side, these old trams were produced by ABB, then by Adtranz and finally by Bombardier. Sorry.

Obrigado! The first two clips are quite the contrast (fog and no one vs. sunny and lots of people). 4:02 - Where is this view taken from? What did you like the most about Porto? (doesn't have to be transit)

[@timosha21]

Oh it was a church on top of the hill overlooking the city! Yes early morning shot and the same bridge a few hours later where the fog dissipates and the sun appears :D

[@sobu_hasy]

The trams looks so much like those CTS Eurotram in Strasboutg, France!

[@rodorodo3060]

Hi Mates!! I would like to know the gauge used in this metro/tram, kind of electrification, the brand, made in Portugal or any other country?? Thanks in advance and regards from B.A. Argentina, R

[@kishoredel]

[@ilmikawish]
