Summary sheet
The project concerns the promoter's investment programme for the period 2002-2006, including renewal of bus and tramway fleets, modernisation of ancillary transport infrastructure, new maintenance equipment and facilities, revamping of social and administrative premises and upgrading of management information systems.
Modernisation of the public transport infrastructure in the city of Lisbon, contributing to improve availability and service levels, discourage private car usage and reduce traffic congestion.
The acquisition of modern and environmentally friendly transportation equipment by Carris will contribute to discourage reliance on private car usage in the Lisbon centre and to reducing hazardous gas emissions and noise levels, therefore having a general positive impact on the urban environment.
Award of works, equipment supply and services contracts will follow market practice under open competition in compliance with national and EU legislation.
