"Similar to what is usual on Christmas Eve, December 24th, the Porto Metro ends its operation early, with the last departures taking place at 8pm, on all lines. The following day, December 25th, the operation starts later than usual, starting between 08:30 and 09:00".
According to the carrier, "the adjustment in schedules is due to the prospect of demand which, historically, reduces very sharply at this time".
Thus, on the lines that end at Estádio do Dragão, the last departures will be at 20:00 (on the Red line, from Póvoa de Varzim), at 20:02 (on the Blue line, from Senhor de Matosinhos) and at 20:10 ( on the Violeta line, from the Airport), and in the opposite direction they will head to Póvoa at 20:01, to the Airport at 20:08 and to Senhor de Matosinhos at 20:11.
As for the rest, on the Green Line, the last departure from ISMAI towards Campanhã will be at 20:13 (at 20:19 in the opposite direction), on the Orange line the last departure from Fânzeres towards Senhora da Hora will be at 20:07 (20:21 in the opposite direction), and on the Yellow Line, the last departure from Santo Ovídio towards Hospital São João will be at 20:00 (20:04 in the opposite direction).
ℹ️ À semelhança do que é habitual na véspera de Natal, 24 de dezembro, o Metro do Porto termina mais cedo a operação, com as últimas partidas a fazerem-se pelas 20h00, em todas as linhas. https://t.co/rPSEXSLGvs
