The initiative, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) with a total investment of €739,849.48, includes the acquisition of two electric minibuses with a capacity of 35 passengers each and wheelchair access ramps, as well as their respective chargers. The service will be available free of charge for the first 12 months on an experimental basis.
With a 9.5-kilometer circular route and 17 strategically distributed stops, the Reguengos Ecobus is designed to meet the daily travel needs of residents, with special support for the senior population, the school community, and citizens with reduced mobility. The route covers residential areas, schools, commercial centers, the health center, and the industrial zone.
