The Municipality of Oliveira do Hospital has reinforced mobility support infrastructure with the installation of nine new public transport shelters in various locations within the council, representing a total investment of 41,838.31 euros.

The new infrastructures have been distributed across the parishes of Aldeia das Dez, Avô, Lagos da Beira e Lajeosa, Lourosa, and Oliveira do Hospital e São Paio de Gramaços, and are now available for public use, providing improved waiting conditions.
Funding for this modernization comes partly from the "Notice no. 4/2026 – Support for the Recovery and Installation of Mobility and Transport Infrastructures" from the Fund for Mobility and Transport, which covered 36,535.47 euros of the total cost.
The Mayor, José Francisco Rolo, highlighted that this investment reflects the municipality's ongoing commitment to enhancing mobility infrastructure, promoting safety and comfort for users. He also emphasized the importance of "investing in the improvement and enhancement of existing infrastructure, in order to provide better conditions for the use of collective public transport, promoting sustainable mobility".
Since 2025, the Municipality has installed over two dozen new shelters, with an accumulated investment of approximately 80 thousand euros. The council is served by the Intermunicipal Transport System of the Metropolitan Region of Coimbra.
