During the school break, the following schedules will be in effect:

March 30 to April 2: the “School Holiday” timetables come into effect, with the exception of the lines serving the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia (lines 900s), where the “Normal” timetable remains in effect, due to the semester-based organization adopted by the educational establishments.

April 3rd: Saturday schedule will be in effect.

April 6th to 10th: the "School Holidays" schedule will be reinstated.

Starting April 13th , the "Normal" schedule will be resumed on all lines.
