On the 1st and 2nd of April, transport companies, political decisions and other participants in metropolitan mobility in Lisbon will open up to the general public, in a free conference. The Mobility Days will be an opportunity for people to learn a little better about the work being done and ask questions directly to those responsible.

The event, which is being promoted by the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) and the Lisbon Metropolitan Transport (TML)will take place at the National Palace of Queluz, accessible by train (Sintra Line) or by lines 1510, 1513, 1519 and 1717 of Carris Metropolitana (the 1717 direct part of the Colégio Militar terminal/Metro). On day 1, it will only be in the afternoon. On day 2, it will take place throughout the day.

The input is freebut lacks enrollmentwhich can be done here.

Participate around 25 speakersbelonging to institutions as diverse as Lisbon and Tagus Valley Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR-LVT), the municipal councils of Sintra, Oeiras and Braga, Carris, Fertagus, the Lisbon Metro, ​Institute of Mobility and Transport (IMT), the Mobility and Transport Authority (AMT) and Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP)but also the Porto Metropolitan Area, the intermunicipal communities of Oeste and Lezíria do Tejo and Algarve, the Porto Metro or the Mondego Metro.

The Navegante Journeys will, therefore, bring together some of the main stakeholders (authorities, operators, entities, specialists and technicians) with the aim of collecting new contributions that may be relevant to continue following a more sustainable mobility path in the Lisbon metropolitan area. The event will also serve to mark the five years of the Navigator.

In 2019, Navegante brought a simplification of the fare system, a reduction in the cost of the monthly pass, the expansion of its geographic coverage, more mobility and more people using public transport. The implementation of this measure contributed to improving the quality of life and mobility of populations, and was only possible due to the political priority assumed at the 1st Summit of Metropolitan Areas and the commitment of the Government, mayors and services of the respective municipalities.
