Did you notice that big empty spot on the bottom left corner? That's where Belém is, one of the most visited spots in Lisbon, home to some of the most recognizable landmarks and a gateway for people who live out of the city center. No metro in the past nor future.
you have train, tram and a decently big amount of bus lines. It could be helpful but i don’t think it’s that bad tbh
@@alexandrebettencourt9880 Yes you have those things, but so does most of Lisbon. As a hot spot, it makes sense to bring the metro there instead of putting pressure in Cais do Sodré. I also feel the railway track between Algés and Cais do Sodré is a barrier between the river and the city. I think turning it into an overground metro, similar to Porto, could be a solution.
@@simsInnovation there's a reason why the Red Line will be extended to Alcântara and a new light rail system is going to be build connecting Alcântara to Oeiras 😉
Also, good luck trying to fit 7 car train worth of passengers in a light rail vehicle.
@@UnderLX if you turn Alges into a major transport hub by extending the metro there, along with a light railway, you could split the density between the different means of transportation (bus, tram and cabs already exist there as well). This is important since they will build an Ocean Campus there and expand the coastal area with new leasure attractions. LIOS, as you mentioned, only goes as far as Jamor, which is not close to Oeiras centre, and goes mostly through low density residential areas.
I don't remember anymore where I saw that, but in the original Lisbon subway plans of the 1950s, they intended to expand the lines to reach Algés and Poço do Bispo, and the nowadays Yellow line to Lumiar, green to Alvalade, and blue to Benfica. the big issue of proximity to the river was to be solved by following the old routes of the CCFL's trams, that followed higher elevation streets instead of Av. 24 de Julho/Av. da Índia, really close to the sea and based on a late 1800s landfill, prone to problems with tunnelling
Nice video, cool to finally see our subway get some love 👍
We got just a few corrections for you:
The proposed plans you showed are outdated since they were all discarded some years ago. The Yellow Line branches were replaced by a Light Rail system (Linha Violeta / Violet Line). The start of a branch to Sacavém on the Red Line was indeed built but the plans to actually extend it beyond a small technical terminus were scrapped. Currently there are no official plans to extend the Red Line beyond Aeroporto station, some suggestions have included connecting to the city center at Entre Campos and connecting to Campo Grande and Pontinha like you showed. The branch from Colégio Militar / Luz to Benfica has been replaced with a proposed connection of the Yellow Line from Telheiras to Benfica, crossing the Blue Line at Colégio Militar / Luz. The system is been built with 10 years tops of plans, beyond that it's mostly promises and general suggestions.
Now for fun facts:
Amadora Este station was supposed to be named Falagueira and there were even some covered up destination boards with that name before they got replaced altogether.
Amadora Este - Reboleira extension constuction was halted due to the 2007 Financial Crisis with most structures already built but suffering a lot of damage throughout the years due to the area's humid climate.
Baixa-Chiado - Santa Apolónia extension on the Blue Line was supposed to open way before but there was a massive flood caused by a crack in the tunnel wall so a new tunnel had to be built inside the cracked one.
Rotunda II (Marquês de Pombal II) was built as a second station off to the side and underneath the original station. The original station still has the unused tunnels that used to connect to what is now the Yellow Line.
Question: is the Restauradores-Rossio unused tunnel also there somewhere? I find it odd that there are now talks of turning the green line into a circular line when it could have been done back then had they not split up those two stations. Probably wouldn't have been as useful for people coming from the stations close to the river (that would be built in the following years).
@@WhyFi59 the tunnel has been walled off and can't be used anymore due to the extension of the Rossio station platforms. You can still see part of it from the Restauradores station but there's no track there anymore. Some of the older stations were originally built with a third of the size of the current ones, when they were extended to double the size and eventually to the current size most of those older tunnels or sidings ended up being walled off or too close to the end of the platform to be used.
as a lisboeta who uses the metro daily i loved reading these fun facts! thank u for posting them!
The proposed Yellow Line extension north of Odivelas is being replaced with the Orange Line light rail, and the Yellow Line will run peak-direction service (2-3 tph) between Odivelas and Cais do Sodré via Rato after the Green Line becomes circular.
@@SigmaRho2922 first of all, the light rail line will be Violet and not Orange, the Orange line was a proposed smaller semi circular line that was supposed to connect the hills around the Baixa area. Secondly, there is no clear indication if there will be direct Yellow line trains on the Green circle line, Government officials have both denied and confirmed that information multiple times.
I just visited Portugal and thought the subway system was nice, easy to find, the cars were cleaned and the next stop showing inside the cars made my trips that much easier. I wish the Porto subway accepted the Lisbon metro cards and vice versa
"They" don't care about the persons, "they" only think about the money!
they are two completely different cities, it's normal they dont accept the same cards
@@maxneves954 Hmmm, I can understand your thought process, but here in the states, along the east coast, a large number of us have transponders in our cars that allow us to drive through a toll booth in numerous states, and the cost f the toll is billed to one account. With the large number of people traveling to and from Porto and Lisbon, it just makes sense to have one card
@@rickduncan362 you can also do that by car here, our tolls are the same for the whole country and theres a device that does the same thing as yours, and if you're going from porto to lisboa or viceversa by train, which is the most common method of transportation, you can buy all your tickets in the same place, its the same company for the entire country, CP. But on the cities themselves there's different operators thus different tickets, im sure you can't use the new york subway tickets on seattle for example
@@josealmeida76 who
I visited Lisbon for the first time just a few weeks ago. Lovely city and I was looking forward to using the Metro. Since its opening (very late in European terms) it has really grown to something significant and visually intriguing. I think they've taken station design to a very high level... there's still the commitment to tiling, so prevalent in Lisbon and Portugal generally, but with new and modern twists. Finally, having noted the proposal to turn the Green Line into a circular service, I did spot a worksite on my last day... it seems this is going ahead but can anyone confirm?
I'm glad you liked Lisbon, you are always welcome here!
Yes, we are currently working on a new circular service in the green line that is going to help on the communications between citizens from smaller cities around the metropolitan area and our capital. We are expecting more projects for the metro, but this one was approved just this Summer and will be ready in 2024.
Yup, it's ongoing. The main advantages:
-Separating the southern half of the yellow line justifies a high frequency service without having to run empty trains on the northern half
-connects the centre of Lisbon pretty well and links all major university campuses together, which would be great if students could afford to live in the city
- Cais do Sodré, the terminal for the majority of ferry lines and the Cascais commuter rail line, will be extremely well connected to this very central high frequency line
The main disadvantages:
-prevents further radial growth of the green and yellow lines
-further isolates Odivelas from the centre of Lisbon. In a city with as bad a housing crisis as Lisbon's, this is a big downside.
-Doesn't really do the job of a circular line too spectacularly given how narrow it is.
@@vul6455 Thank you! I will certainly revisit Lisbon at some point, although I cannot say when this will be... there are many cities in mainland Europe I'm intending to travel to, although those with Metro systems are higher on my list.
@@mrguysnailz4907 Many thanks for your very comprehensive reply!
@@marcelwiszowaty1751 If you do you should definitely go to Picoas, there isnt that much to visit around but the station has this Art Noveau inspired entrance, it's really beautiful
each line is connected to the other three lines atleast once. very smart planning to have these interchanges.
Nice video about the animation of Lisbon Metro. Congrats!
As a Lisboeta born and raised would love to see the metro reach the other side of the river , either under water or on a bridge
ue mas tem o fertagus
in istanbul they did that and i love riding that line one second you are in asia than you get off the train at europe?? thats crazy. i would love if lisbon also have a line like that. i dont know maybe they can connect cais de sodre to cahillas than to trams from there to almada? but using the bridge makes more sense. maybe they can connect blue line on sete rios with the train to setubal? i hope im writing the names right lol i'm here for erasmus and too lazy to check.
Yeah i was in istambul and saw It. Also in New York . O fertagus é bom mas não liga Montijo barreiro Seixal e Almada . Fertagus is good but does not connect to thèse other cities
Rio Tejo is not deep at all. I ride boat there and i can tell you that you can wall in most of It and thé ones that you cannot walk boats havé to be extremlyyyy cautious
the other side of the bridge already has a light rail metro. And to get there you can take the fertagus train
I always wondered, how do they split a branch line off from a main line and extend beyond it like they did for Rotunda? Build a new level of platform to redirect it?
I think for the case of Rotunda (Marquês de Pombal) they built a separate platform for the Yellow Line!
I think they just built a new platforms. Here in Moscow is the same situation on the 2 and 11 lines
A whole new station was built to the side and underneath the old one and the 2 were connected. All the old tunnels are still there but some can't be used anymore because the platforms had to be extended.
@@MetroLiner yeah all lines have separate platforms. São Sebastião also has separate platforms and Campo Grande does as well
@@julm7744 I am eating pelmeni
Visitei Lisboa em Outubro de 2019 e eu gostei do sistema de metrô da capital Portuguesa, foi muito útil para me deslocar entre os pontos turísticos de Lisboa. Saudações do sul do Brasil.
Abraço irmão :)
@@Bakus74 de nada e Obrigado👍
Just hope it goes further, would really love to see this going up since we need a more connected city for a variety of reasons 🙏
Acho mesmo que uma boa solução seria voltar a apostar nos elétricos (os grandes, como o que vai para Algés). Derivado da geografia de Lisboa é difícil ter uma linha com mais paragens dentro da cidade. Agora, devia claramente ir até todos os subúrbios
This is a nightmare for locals, but a blessing for tourists😅 the yellow line is perfect for students and workers living in the outskirts, when they modify it, people are gonna have to switch lines, which if one subway is just a minute late, you miss the others, and endup waiting another 10 minutes😢
making it a circular green line benefits mostly tourists in the city
It's stupid just from look and i never been in Lisbon
This is always very nice to imagine, but if instead of spending all that money on expansions, they actually spent it in improving what we have now..... Better carriages that would support this new and longer tracks, more carriages to reduce the waiting and amount of people in each ride, at least in peak hours, would be a lot better
They are coming, 42 were acquired and are being assembled.
very nice video! congrats!
Nice video, first time on your channel. I am happy that I found a channel which gives updated maps with metro lines of a certain city unlike Google Maps whose public transport feature doesn't even show all the metros or even all the lines till date.
Anyways I have a request, can you make a video on Delhi Metro's Expansion.
Well that might be an isolated case cause all the cities I've visited had all the metro lines on Google Maps
Love it!!!!! Even though there are some mistakes: now theres also the proposed plan to make the two light rail metros along the river, specially the west one (LIOS Ocidental and Oriental)
It would had also been great if the trams were also included, besides de suburban train
Your videos are getting better and better! Any plans to do Hamburg some day? 🙈
Yellow line could extend to Belém or Algés, and north to Loures. Blue line could go deeper inside Amadora, as there’s a lot of people in there who comes to Lisbon, and also extend (or a new line could be made) to the whole coast line heading to Moscavide or Oriente station. Green line could head more north to Odivelas and Famões. Red line is good as it is, but it would be nicer if it started from Carnaxide or Alfragide, crossing the Monsanto.
Metro should extend all the way to Sintra and Cascais. Should also connect Sintra and Oeiras
I think they dont do the amadora thing because most people there use the train? since its really in the center of the city + lots of buses to close metro stations like amadora este or alfornelos.
@@maxneves954 They use the train because there’s no other option. At peak times you’ll see people coming all the way from Sintra mixing up with the ones in Amadora, that’s just right there, close to Lisbon. If you ask me, there should be a RER system to connect Sintra and Lisbon. A metro connecting Lisbon to Sintra isn’t necessary, but at least the people in the surrounding areas should be well served with at least 2 options of transportation that works well.
@@nicolasm.822 definitely agree, expecially to Amadora since its the mostly populated city in Portugal + lots of people from there work and study in Lisbon
@@tomasmoura8387 A metro line would be too much to begin with, but they should surely invest in good trains to make connections such as the RER in Paris, connecting Sintra to Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais (there’s a severe lack of transportation from Sintra to Cascais, even tho these cities are so close to each other) and Lisbon all the way to Parque das Nações where the RER line is over.
wait, so you're saying there's an abandoned tunnel from restauradores to rossio?
i need to explore this lol

infelizmente está completamente fechado, mas dá pra ver um bocado da estação dos restauradores
@@maxneves954 ya também dá para ver quando tá em andamento que há um túnel secreto
Adoro! 👍
This video is great! If it's possible, can you do a video about 'Metro do Porto'?
engineering speaking, Metro do Porto is not a subway. It is a different type of public transport. It is light rail.
@@okapijohn4351 So is most of the LA Metro, and Metro Liner already made a video about it. It is therefore feasible to have a video about the Porto Metro

Exciting times ahead for Lisbon
That's cool!

I just had a ride on a metro for my first ever time today
Espero que o futuro esteja proximo
Where did you find some of the info about these future expansions? In particular the Uruguai/Benfica one
Do Barcelona next! ❤
Thank you for this very informative video. I was researching Lisbon for an upcoming vacation and was wondering if the southern side "Praia de Mata" is still well connected from a transport point of view.
If you are talking about Praia da Mata in the municipality of Almada, on the other side of the river Tagus, the public transport to there is mainly bus.
There used to be a mini-train called "Transpraia" that went from Costa de Caparica, but it was closed a couple years back due to financing problems. You can still see the rails on the way to the beach.
Contrary to many other cities in Portugal and around the world, you will notice that in Lisbon there is sort of a disconnect between both sides of the river, in many ways, transport being one of them.
River crossing trains are not the same system as either the Lisbon metro nor the Almada metro. Except for very special lines, the bus systems on both sides are not the same. Even the road bridges have toll charges.
In my experience, it is possible to “set base” in Lisbon and enjoy the Caparica beaches but it’s not practical for a tourist to do so.
My opinion anyway
@@CarlosKTCosta *River crossing trains are not the same system as either the Lisbon metro nor the Almada metro. Except for very special lines, the bus systems on both sides are not the same.*
The districts are also not the same. In fact, as a person living in the South Bank, if I have to get something done I have to go to the office in Setúbal, and not the one in Lisbon.
You need to do a Barcelona metro map !
Felicitaciones a construir los nuevos trenes cada estaciones y lineas en el Metro de Lisboa, Portugal
taking the blue line all the way down to take the yellow line all the way bavk up. eventhough the to places are 10 minutes apart, was crazy
System you should do in the future.
1. Vancouver Canada.
2. Montreal Canada.
3. Calgary Canada.
4. Edmonton Canada.
5. Barcelona Spain.
6. Munich Germany.
7. Rome Italy.
8. Bucharest Romania.

Good Vid! (why no barcelonia lol now i know)
Awesome video! You should do Athens' Metro sometime
Lisbon!
The circular metro line is to he opened in the first wuater of 2025. Its all very exciting.
fantastic, can u do metro of Porto, Portugal?
"Metro" in Porto is only name, because actually it is fast TRAM.
This is how I play Mini Metro
You also have to do Porto (Portugal), is even more confusing that the circular line in Lisbon. I'm saying that as a portuguese myself
pergunta genuína, como é que o metro do porto é mais confuso do que a linha circular de lisboa?
Great video! Can you please go back to the US and do the third biggest city, Chicago, soon?
Hi! I live in portela, lisbon, im wondering where did you find the proposition of extension for moscavide sacavem. Keep the good work

Hi, can you pls make a video about Hamburg, it will have an interesting chance
Before they were talking about extending blue line from Santa Apolónia to Sacavem, passing by Braço de Prata/Poço do Bispo, but now here's showing Sacavem in red line... In my opinion, I think it would be better extend the blue line from Santa Apolónia 'till Sacavem
But there is practically no traffic alongside the river, it is just mostly industrial buildings. There are already good busses covering that area (mostly 781), keeping it in the red line would be way better, as of a cost/effect point of view.
Hey ur right but there is already a train lane between santa apolonia and sacavem, and it acts like a metro line

@@JoshuaPers You are spam the same comments. You and annoying !!
Can you make a video about the future of Madrid’s metro (or maybe predictions)
the new red line will be really confusing if that happens.. same goes for the green one, how do circular lines even work, considering that to choose which side we go to, it shows the name of the last station on that direction?
judging by the condition of trains I thought that Lisbon metro is much older. i was surprised to see that extension to Airport is only 10 years old
Actually the trains have 20 years and they look a feel like new.
@@nacht98 i would not say so. For me and compared to other metro systems in other cities they are extremely loud and look pretty worn down
@@nuucha depends which trains you traveled in. The oldest trains are almost 30 years old and with those you can have a sense of their age but most people have no idea that ML99 units are already 20 years old. All trains go on a continuous refurbishment cycle so that they keep feeling as new as possible even though they are anything but. They have very poor sound isolation, it's something that they were never able to "fix". Stations are a whole other issue, some of them have a lot of problems with cracks due to the ground movement or underground water trying to force itself in.
@@nuucha yes they are german and quite noisy...You cannot compare Lisbon to Paris or London....
It’s just such a pity that Santa Apolonia will not be connected to Oriente and all the marginal there at the river front.
So many companies are sitting in Expo and so many people cannot afford to live in the city - so they live in the south margin and coming by boat it is nearly impossible to get to Expo.
Woah, 1993 had an incredibly strange service pattern.
It's more simple than it looks actually. Contrary to what is shown in the video, the 2 branches didn't actually connect at Campo Grande, it's actually an overground double station with 4 tracks. The system still had a Y line pattern with trains from Campo Grande either going all the way south and back north to Campo Grande or going to Colégio Militar / Luz.
Lisbon Metro
Blue Line 1959
Yellow Line 1998

a atual linha verde que acaba em telheiras que vai virar linha amarela devia ser extendida para a zona de famões ( incluindo o doce vitta ) em odivelas
A Ramada tem muito mais gente do que Famões, embora fosse útil a conexão com o Dolce Vitta. Loures está a seguir com tanta gente que pode usufruir do metro, não vejo que Famões venha a ter uma linha especialmente como já têm bons transportes tanto para o metro de Odivelas como para o metro da Pontinha
Infelizmente o Dolce Vitta só tem boas ligações se for da amadora/vimeca em geral
Hi! I really like your work, but i have one problem with this video. Can you please bring back the metro stations names back on the normal map (they don't disappear)
There is also a violet line expected to come in 2026
It start with Estado Novo! 😊
as usual 😀
The eastern part of the city is being left out.
Perhaps it would be good for the Blue Line🔵 to be extended up from Santa Apolónia, maybe following the margin of the river, to interface with Red Line🔴 at Oriente.
for sure, it would be great to see the blue line extend to xabregas braço de prata, etc....
There's already a light rail system proposed to bridge the gap between Santa Apolónia and Oriente as a local service and the North Railway also connects both stations. Extending the Blue Line is rather risky because the tunnel would be directly underneath 2 active platforms of a very very old railway station, same reason why there's no terminus after Santa Apolónia station, the tunnel just ends right after the station.
Oriente and Santa Apolónia are easily connected by the overground train system, so there isnt a big urgency to connect them by the underground as well. Also as someone else pointed out, it is quite the risky endeavour to do so
@@kuromi_xo it's not that easy, unless you wanna pay for the train that isnt suburban theres only trains every 30 minutes
@@maxneves954 well i do that almost every day baixa-chiado>santa apolónia metro; santa apolónia train> oriente; and if u get zapping on your card, or the monthly navegante you can do that for the same price as just the metro

By the way, I have a brilliant idea for you! 🤩💡
Why don't you do different country tours. That is, this is when you make ALL the subways of this very country.
For example:
"Italian tour! 🇮🇹🍕"
Rome - January 1
Genoa - January 15
Naples - January 29
Catania - February 12
Turin - February 26
Brescia - March 12
Or you can do themed tours.
For example:
"Tour - Back to the USSR!"
That is, you make all the subways of those countries that were part of this country.
St. Petersburg - January 1
Kyiv - January 15
Nizhny Novgorod - January 29
Minsk - February 12
Novosibirsk - February 26
Alma-Ata - March 12
Kharkiv - March 26

Dnipro - May 14
Tbilisi - May 28
Yekaterinburg - June 11

Hi, can you make the evolution of the Innsbrucker Tram?
Tram?
@@user-ul5tf8ui6t Yeah, Innsbruck has tram network.
However metroliner do not video about trams.
How does the evolution of Lisbon's metro compare to other capital cities in Europe? Things seem to move slowly.
Yes. It is expensive for various reasons: Lisbon is not flat. Is very hilly. The ground in some areas is just above the river, the sandy soil in those areas need an reinforcement, and so on
Portuguese law makes the process of actually building anything very long and hard, you have to make the project, discuss it publicly, submit it for environmental impact analysis, change the project if the environmental impact analysis detects some problem, launch the public tender, pick a winner (and see the losing companies ask for a reevaluation of the public tender results and stop the process each time they do so), sign the contract, wait for the Audit Court to give their go ahead (which can take a very long time), sign the consignment agreement and then the actual building process can begin. Expansion plans are also highly tied to political cycles, which means that they get changed a lot whenever the political landscape also changes. They also tend do be too optimistic with extensions too big for the money and time available. Some areas of the city aren't that great for tunnel building. At the riverside not only there's a lot of water but also most of the soil isn't made of rock but dirt, sand and debris from the Great Earthquake of 1755 that were used to extend the city into the river. Also since the city is very hilly, either the lines go up and down like a roller coaster or you have to build some stations deeper, making them more expensive.
Great video. Porto next?
Of course
Porto has premetro (fast TRAM), not metro.

Já ouve alterações nos términos das 2 linhas do Metro de Lisboa em Portugal! Na vermelha e na verde circular. Passou para um ano a mais para cada linha. E acho que não fica por aqui! Enfim.
Notice that développement stalled to a crawl from 1972 - 1988
For obvious reasons
While some have been proposed the future extensions presented are nothing alike to what is actually being equated. They have changed the metro plans constantly and no one really knows what we're getting in the end.
I really do like going to Lisbon as I never have been there. But I have been to Portugal and Faro.
Faro and the rest of Algarve is part of the United Kingdom or Great Britain and Northern Ireland... Portugal starts above the river Tagus, the rest is just a tourist Disneyland...
PS: Lisbon and Porto are no becoming twin islands owned by Disneyland too...
where is the Socorro station?
Its currently Martim Moniz
I used to live in Lisbon, at the End of the Red line just near the Airport and I have to say, coming from Frankfurt/Germany it was so weird that the lines dont have like a "Central touching point". I always hated that I had to go all the way around Lisbon, transfer, transfer again, etc. just to get somewhere. Its good if you want to go to the city center.. but for the rest it is not..
But it was usually more clean and way cheaper than german public transport. So it was good to use when you had to.
Because the "city center" of Lisbon is not the center of the city. Lisbon, is a port, it's not like Frankfurt or Paris.
But Frankfurt has NOT a metro.
@@pieterwatson611 And where am I talking about a metro? Yes this video is about lisbon metro but my comment never mentioned that but rather was comparing it to (train based) urban railway in other cities, thus including frankfurts weird hybrid.

Making Kiev metro prospects is pointless. It is enough to mention the bridge that has been built for 29 years (Podilskyi bridge - Подільський мостовий перехід) or about the recent happenings in Ukraine... The (one) new line will be built as soon as possible in 25 years (2047).
A Sofia é bué bonita:****
It seems as if the network had inconsistent and unstrategic development
the decidion to transform the green line into a circular one is with no doubt a big strategic mistake.
@@okapijohn4351 The first weird moment (similarly to moscow) was to branch out the primary metro line. There the metro builders are still butting heads over it and most probably the penninsula the branch goes through might soon consist of tunnels only XD
Although there had been long term plans for the network from the start they kept being remade every decade or so, with new plans being released usually coinciding with the elections for the Parliament, making them useless in a nutshell.
For example, the Yellow Line was supposed to link the Cascais Railway to Odivelas and the Red Line was supposed to follow the end of the Yellow Line but up the Ajuda Hill, connecting with the Cascais Railway further west, now they're going to make the Red Line take the path that was supposed to be followed by the Yellow Line and divert the Yellow Line at Campo Grande to build the Green Circle Line. The change in plans for the Yellow Line were so drastic that they are building a whole new tunnel connecting to Rato station (the south end of the Yellow Line) since the current terminus is pointing south, towards the Cascais Railway, but the next station, with which they will close the new circle, is being built to the east. They built the start of 2 branches at Colégio Militar / Luz and Moscavide, with some more planned but not built, because they planned on extending the lines using a system of branches to make sure the "core" of the network always had high train capacity and the outskirts had lower capacity to prevent trains from basically traveling empty. This plan was scrapped and the network is to remain "branchless" but some stuff was already built. The 2 north branches of the Yellow Line even ended up being replaced with a light rail system.
Nowadays they basically have one project in construction, 2 in project phase to begin construction next year or in 2 years and another in planning which maybe will begin construction 6 or 7 years from now, and this is more or less how the network is going to evolve without a big masterplan like you see for bigger networks.
PORTUGAL Estes TH-camrs Inglêses têm sorte, o único bom Português da ilha da Madeira é o JQR PRODUCTIONS, com o seu video RELATÓRIO JQR, tá TOP, ALANZOOOKA que sorte de vocês terem esses youtubers aí🥲
Shut up
Please make next video on Mumbai Metro 🙏🙏
Amazing!! Could you do Porto next?😁
engineering speaking, Metro do Porto is not a subway. It is a different type of public transport. It is light rail. bruh, its so obvious, its impossible for you not to know that, i mean did your father leave you? if he did, these kind of things justify it.
Boa noite,
Peço desculpa mas este vídeo tem um erro no aumento das respetivas linhas.
A linha circular funcionará como está no vídeo, passará do amarelo para linha verde, como linha Circular, aumento da expansão, entre o Rato e cais do Sodré.
Linha Amarela de Telheiras a Odivelas.
Na Zona de Odivelas terá, uma linha a superfície do Hospital Beatriz Ângelo até Várzea de Loures, fazendo uma espécie de um U.
Linha Vermelha de São Sebastião até a Estação de Alcântara.
A Estação do metro de Alcântara, será feito uma ponte e ficará a superfície e com a previsão do comboio no túnel.
Até agora sem mudança nas previsões da mudança do metro (do que informei antes) e, já estão a ser feito as obras da linha circular (Linha verde passará a linha circular).
Para já são as novas previsões do aumento do metro.
Red line looks like m1 line in Istanbul just with a smaller branch
Yey, one of our three metro systems
You mean Lisbon, Porto and some other city?
Actually "metro" in Porto is not metro. It is fast tram, very much resembles of metro. Portugal has ONE system of metro.
In Portugal only Lisbon has metro system. The rest are light rail systems or fast trams.
Com todos os fundos europeus disponibilizados a Portugal é incrível a assimetria de desenvolvimento entre Portugal e Espanha e diz muito sobre nós enquanto povo medíocre e com nenhuma iniciaitiva de reclamar. O metro de Lisboa é um bom exemplo disso, péssima infraestrutura e comboios, péssima limpeza, muito degradado em praticamente todas as estações, parece um esgoto para ratos circularem. O metro do Porto dá mil a zero no de Lisboa.
sssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
É no que dá ter colónias até 1974/75!
Espanha tem um óptimo sistema ferroviários, mas isso não impede que seja o que é...o país com a mais alta taxa de pobreza da Europa Ocidental!
Já agora "os fundos europeus" têm muito que se lhe diga. 1 - Não são "europeus". O dinheiro "a fundo perdido", corresponde à quota de Portugal, ou seja, é dinheiro que nós lá colocámos. O restante são empréstimos, e logo funcionam como se fosse ao banco. 2- Depois, nenhum fundo vem sem cordelinhos agarrados, imposições que Bruxelas põe e que raramente são beneficiosas para o interesse nacional. 3 - Os fundos nunca cobrem a totalidade dos projectos. A fim de conseguir "os fundos", Portugal tem de se endividada no mercado para conseguir cobrir os valores que sobram. 4 - Devido ao ponto 3, grande parte dos "fundos" nunca chegaram a ser usados. Só dos "fundos" de recuperação da Covid, por exemplo, ficaram 12 mil milhões de euros em empréstimos por usar. Os tugas têm de perder a mania de falar da UE como uma espécie de instituição benemérita, porque não é, nunca foi e está mais próxima de ser uma instituição bancária que "benemérita",
@@l23722 hmm, espanha com a maior taxa de pobreza da europa ocidental? Como é que chegaste à essa conclusão?
What about the other side of the river?
The other side of the Tagus river has its own metro system
Could you do Prague? (:

@@MCBlackCZ Ok, but you don't have to spam about it for tons of episodes, like other people spam. He will do it if he wants.
@@pieterwatson611 u literally reply to every single comment on every video. mind your own business.
@@MCBlackCZ What, will you forbid me? It's not your business. You are so thoughtless that despite my numerous comments YOU (you and other viewers) continue to SPAM about the same thing.
