From December 1, 2026, all holders of the Munícipe Card will be able to travel for free on the entire public transport network of the municipality, regardless of their place of residence or the operator providing the service. Until now, free travel was limited to the urban and rural lines of the Bragança Urban Transport Service (STUB), excluding 12 lines operated by companies Rodonorte and Inter2000.
This decision eliminates the difference in treatment among citizens, ensuring that everyone has access to the same free travel conditions. The measure covers 12 routes serving 44 localities, spread across 19 of the municipality's 39 parishes.
“"It made no sense for one citizen to travel for free because their village had a STUB line, while another had to pay simply because the transport was provided by a different company. With this decision, we end that difference and ensure that everyone has access to the same free conditions for public transport, whether they live in the city or a village. It is also a way to help families reduce their daily expenses, especially those who rely on public transport to work, see a doctor, or access services."
The Municipality also aims to alleviate families' daily travel costs, at a time when the rising cost of living continues to strain household budgets, particularly for populations dependent on public transport for access to healthcare, commerce, and other essential services.
The munícipe card can be requested through the Municipal Council's website.
