Speaking to journalists in Esposende, Jorge Delgado highlighted the Government's decision not to increase, in 2023, the prices of public transport passes.

“Of course there are problems and that's why we're here. But it also seems to me that in recent years a huge, giant step has been taken in promoting the improvement of better mobility for everyone”, he said.

The Secretary of State referred, in particular, to the creation of the Public Transport Fare Reduction Support Program (PART), which he classified as “an unprecedented moment, a revolution, which promoted a very expressive reduction in the price of tickets” of public transport and a “very significant increase” in demand.

However, admitted the official, “there is still a lot to do”, with the aim of improving the physical conditions of the transport networks, with the renewal of fleets.

“We have to greatly improve active mobility, whether walking or cycling. And we have to keep pushing everyone to understand that public transport and shared transport are the best solutions for everyday life”, he said.
