Between March 25th and 28th, STCP will reinforce its operations to facilitate access to Qualifica, the largest event in the Northern Region in the areas of education, training and youth, which takes place at Exponor.
During these days, the frequency of line 601 (Cordoaria-Aeroporto, via Mar Shopping) will be increased, improving connections between Casa da Música (Porto) and Exponor.
The reinforcement of line 601 will work as follows:
• Between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM: trips towards Exponor (outbound);
• From 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM: trips in both directions (outbound and return);
• From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM: trips only in the direction of Casa da Música (return).
In addition to line 601, passengers can also use lines 507 (Cordoaria - Mar Shopping) and 508 (Boavista - Cabo do Mundo, via Mar Shopping), which stop at the Exponor Roundabout, located approximately 550 meters from the Exponor entrance.
With this operational reinforcement, STCP aims to facilitate access to the event and encourage the use of public transport, promoting more comfortable, sustainable and efficient journeys for all Qualifica visitors.
