O Yellowthe Lisbon City Council and Carris school mobility project, continues to grow and reach more schools in the city. At the end of February, five Kindergartens and 1st Cycle schools in the parishes of Campolide, Penha de França and Santa Clara joined this initiative, which aims to encourage the use of public transport on school trips.
Aimed especially at younger children, in Kindergartens and 1st Cycle, the project Yellow works based on the Carris Neighborhood Careers network It is allows little ones to go to school independently, by bus, without their parents. Children are accompanied on these journeys by adult monitors, who ensure they arrive at school safely, thus allowing guardians to have a more restful morning. There are WhatsApp groups for regular communication between the monitors and the various fathers and mothers, giving even more confidence and tranquility to the entire dynamic.
The project Yellow is available in 18 educational establishments, covering seven parishes and seven Neighborhood Careers: 26B, 29B, 37B, 40B, 61B, 67B and 70B. In the parish of Campolide, the initiative reached JI/EB Querubim Lapa; in Penha de França, to JI/EB Arq. Vitor Palla and JI/EB Prof. Oliveira Marques; and in Santa Clara, to EB Eurico Gonçalves, JI da Ameixoeira and JI/EB Alta de Lisboa.
