The inhabitants of Porto call their urban rail system "metro", so that they can boast that they have an almost double metro system than Lisbon. :ohno:

Actually they only have 7 kms of real metro. The rest is no more than a tramway with its own path, like in many German cities. Curiously enough, Germans also use the same term (U-Bahn) both for full-scale metros and hybrid systems.

^^ Yes, there's often an inflational use of the term "metro".

The Metro Bits database (http://mic-ro.com/metro/table.html) takes that into account: Lisbon 41.0 km, Oporto 21.7 km length of full metro stretch.

A metro doesn't have to be underground, it just has to be grade separated, are there sections of the Athens Metro with level crossings?

No. Athens metro is fed by a third rail, so level crossings are impossible!

True, but there is a tram system in Athens very similar to Porto Metro right?

Athens tram is not similar to Porto metro. It is a pure tram system, with no underground sections. :)

These tracks with grass remind me of Athens tram a little bit:

The inhabitants of Porto call their urban rail system "metro", so that they can boast that they have an almost double metro system than Lisbon. :ohno:


oh please; the word metro is used in the USA to refer to a transit network, whether or not it contains any rail (not to mention light rail or tram). Thus, in Madison, WI they have a "metro" which is a bus-only system.

To call somebody "metro" means the person is metrosexual.

In china they call "light rail" anything that's an elevated transit line, even if it's really more like heavy rail.

Russian tourists show up at Metropolitan Museum in NYC thinking it's about rail transit. My friend thought it would be about the metropolitan area.

Open up any "metro section" of a US newspaper - don't think all the articles will be about subways!!!

I hope you enjoy the city!!!:)


If you could came on the first week of May (1st May-8th May) specially the night from 31st of April and the day of 3rd of May, you would like the animation on the city`s downtown »»» It`s the week of the "Queima das Fitas" [week of all of the university in the Porto`s metropolitan area]



Attention:

1) for a turist, the best thing to do is to buy the “Andante Tour 1 Dia” (24h-5€) or “Andante Tour 3 Dias” (72h-11€), and one person can travel in all the subways, most of the buses and most of the trains in the metropolitan area.


2) you have to be careful when you chance a vehicle (bus, train or subway), even from subway vehicle to subway vehicle, you always have to "validate" the Andante [portuguese name of the ticket] on the yellow machines!!!

Any plans to expand this light rail system in Porto?

Any plans to expand this light rail system in Porto?


There are plans, but at the moment there isn`t money to do it!!!:cry:

There is only 1 station being made [Line D - Santo Ovídeo]:)!!!


The Porto Metropolitan Area has 1,4 Million people, but the network still has a lot of gaps, as you can see on the map that follows:


http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/painosso/Metro%20do%20Porto/MdP100.jpg
Legend:

Blue: actual network;

Red: 2nd phase (2011-2020) = 1,2 Bilion Euros;

Yellow: 3rd phase (2021-....).


You can also see the post below that is the project for the different lines of the 2nd phase:

The dates there are wrong, the dates were the time table for the project in 2008!!!

Were the old train paths used to build new tracks to other towns?

Were the old train paths used to build new tracks to other towns?


No, the actual Line B & C of the Porto`s Subway (from Trindade to Póvoa de Varzim & ISMAI) were both narrow gauges railroad lines (1000mm) and both of them were closed in 2001!! The old tracks, i think were delivered to REFER (the national railroad infrastructure entity) and they probably used when necessary somewhere else on the railroad network!!!

THE END:)

The old tracks, i think were delivered to REFER (the national railroad infrastructure entity) and they probably used when necessary somewhere else on the railroad network!!!

Obiously I meant just railroad routes, not tracks!
So some old railstation buildings are in use again for Metro now?

Sorry!!:)


I didn`t know if you were talking about the tracks or the railroad routes!!


Yes, i think that all of the old railroad stations were recovered for public use on the Line B & C between Sra. da Hora-Póvoa de Varzim & ISMAI, as you can see on the photos 40, 41, 50, and specially on photo 52 and 61 of the previous page!!

Just got back from Porto and Lisbon.

Great "light metro" in Porto although I found it difficult to buy tickets. The zone and title options really confused me.

Yes and No!!:colgate:

The new vehicle that you see was only put on the Porto `s Tram Museum for exhibition before of the inauguration of The Porto`s Subway (December 2002)!!

The old vehicle that you see on the right side of the image is the electric (in portuguese) / bonde (in brazilian) and they were very use till the mid 80`s, in 2001 with the 2001 Porto European Capital of Culture, the city reconstructed several tram lines that had disappeared.

Responding to your question, nowadays there are 3 commercial lines more mainly used by tourists, and there are several vehicles already reconstructed, being reconstructed, and some went for U.S.A. (San Francisco, Philadelphia), an Italy and i think Brazil!!

It may not be the same tram... Could be the same shape, but not the same "number", if you understand me ;)

^^ sure I meant the same model

It seems that the government takes over the 200.000.000 euro debt of Porto metro:

http://www.jn.pt/paginainicial/pais/concelho.aspx?Distrito=Porto&Concelho=Porto&Option=Interior&content_id=1906065

What surprised me in the above article is the relatively low ridership of Porto metro: only 160.000 passengers per day.

What surprised me in the above article is the relatively low ridership of Porto metro: only 160.000 passengers per day.

That actually seems quite high, given the size of the Metro Area and the fact that it's a LRT system with several branches with (relatively) low frequency.

Did the other extentions of MP started?

Did the other extentions of MP started?

All suspended due to the massive economic colapse that drowned Portugal.

Did the other extentions of MP started?

As Faialense already said, the 2nd & 3rd phase on the network is on hold until the portuguese debt crises passes!!



The Porto Metropolitan Area has 1,4 Million people, but the network still has a lot of gaps, as you can see on the map that follows:

http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/painosso/Metro%20do%20Porto/MdP100.jpg
Legend:

Blue: actual network;

Red: 2nd phase (2011-2020) = 1,2 Bilion Euros;

Yellow: 3rd phase (2021-....).




In this post (portuguese thread) you can see all the existing information about each line:

Guys, is the Metro do Porto independend from road trafic in all those locations on this map, with the exception of the route: Senhora da Hora - Senhor de Matosinhos?


The Metro do Porto is always independent from road trafic, including the route between Senhora da Hora«»Sr. de Matosinhos, the road traffic only crosses the line at some points, but the Metro do Porto vehicles always have the priority over all the rest!!

^^ What i meant about 'independend' was - no crossings at all. No pedestrians at all, and no regular vehicles.

^^ What i meant about 'independend' was - no crossings at all. No pedestrians at all, and no regular vehicles.

In that case, you have to add besides the section Senhora da Hora«»Senhor de Matosinhos, the following sections:

- in the Line B, the urban parts of the line in the towns of Póvoa de Varzim & Vila do Conde;

- in the Line C, between Parque Maia and Fórum Maia (urban part of Maia);

I wish Baltimore had a metro comparable to Porto's. Very clean, efficient system.

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3164/13993495c.jpg

I saw that there is a straight, then curve to the left.
It's for a future expansion?
I imagine for the Rotunda de Castelo de Queijo and then follow peel Boa Vista Avenue to Casa da Música Station, or heading for Universidade / Lordelo de Ouro / Campo Alegre / Massarelos / São Bento station (transfer for line D) in Accounting in the existing tunel in Heroismo Station.

Happy new year for all.

Yes, it's for a expansion of only one station in direction of the beach. It's a part of São Mamede line, from Pólo Universitário to Matosinhos (Praia) by São Mamede.

About your "imaginations" :lol:

At first it was planned a line along Boavista Avenue from Brito Capelo to Casa da Música. Then it was abandonned and it's now planned to go from Brito Capelo to S. Bento by Campo Alegre. But there's no money to do it :lol:

It's for a future expansion?


Initially, when it was built, no!! The Idea was that if the commercial service had to end in the station Matosinhos-Sul (at the image) the vehicle would stop in a straight line before the station and not in the pedestrian street on the left!!!


With the plans for the 2nd phase expansion, there is a line that will end 500 meters after, near the beach (image below):

http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/painosso/Metro%20do%20Porto/SMamede4.jpg


And the line on the left will continue to Cidade São Salvador»Castelo do Queijo»Praça do Império»Campo Alegre»Cordoaria»S. Bento, where it is plan to connect with the Line D at S. Bento Station (it will be in tunnel from Cidade São Salvador»S. Bento).



P.S.: all available information, so far, of the 2nd and 3rd expansion phase (in portuguese):

marciomaco and Pai nosso,

thanks for the informations.
I visited the thread 2012 of the Metro do Porto and saw the expansion plans.

Success in 2012

What me annoyed the most in Metro do Porto was the names of the stations. They were mostly just one at the wall, not visible from every place on the train, so you never know where you have arrived. Mostly one has to listen carefully to the voice announcements, but those are sometimes not clear enough. They should put more name-plates.

What me annoyed the most in Metro do Porto was the names of the stations. They were mostly just one at the wall, not visible from every place on the train, so you never know where you have arrived. Mostly one has to listen carefully to the voice announcements, but those are sometimes not clear enough. They should put more name-plates.

Never thought of that, for and a outsider i have to agreed that might be a problem!!

Perhaps the reason is that the Metro do Porto policy for the station is a minimalist one.

I agree completely, but the new ones (Tram-Tram»»»100 Km/h) are needed to the longest lines (Line B & Line C) because of the maximum speed, instead of the Eurotram that only has 80 Km/h of maximum speed.

The tunnel on the left is call the J Tunnel, it doesn`t have commercial voyages, it connects the Yellow Line with the rest of the network




Nice photos Falubaz!!!:)

Oh i didnt know that. Do the trams really go that fast on the routes outside Porto? I didnt go i.e. to Povoa de Varzim, only Matosinhos (the farthest route for me).

Nice pictures, Falubaz!

Obrigado.

Was that bridge built just for the Metro? Nice bridge.

Give me a break, too many trams here, let's see some buses from Porto too

http://s13.postimage.org/d0yus5k1j/DSC06579.jpg

http://s14.postimage.org/5yr87k88x/DSC06580.jpg

And even the haritage trams. I dont like them here in Porto, they are soooo slowly and bring you litterary from nowhere to nowhere. In Lisboa they move people from downtown to the hills and here... buses are the option and the metro is just great of course but the old trams? forget them!

The D. Luis Bridge was always a double-deck road bridge, only since 2005 the above deck was converted for the metro rail vehicles

That is awesome, thanks for the pictures and information.

Does Metro do Porto share any tracks with automobiles?

Does Metro do Porto share any tracks with automobiles?

No. Metro do Porto isn´t a tramway. It runs only on dedicated tracks even on surface outside Oporto city limits, like we see on the pictures above.

^^ But it has level crossings! So its not fully segregated.

Nice pics!

^^ But it has level crossings! So its not fully segregated.

Most of the railways also have level crossings and we don´t say they share tracks with automobiles...

Road vehicles cross the tracks in the outskirts of Oporto but they don´t run along with metro in the same path like we see with tramways. This happens in Oporto with historic trams as shown in some pictures above.

^^ But it has level crossings! So its not fully segregated.It does but the metro has always priority over automobiles; the crossings are controlled by traffic lights that turn red as the metro approaches them.

Thanks :)
In Warsaw over 95% of tram tracks is separated from the road traffic. ;)
Form Polish perspective Metro do Porto is fast tram network with underground section in the centre.

It seems that Porto metro is an expensive "toy":

http://www.jn.pt/paginainicial/pais/concelho.aspx?Distrito=Porto&Concelho=Porto&Option=Interior&content_id=2391238

Losses in 2011: 397 mln Euros (including repayment of loans).
Number of passengers in 2011: 55.7 mln (about 152,600 per day).

This means that every ride created a loss of 7.1 Euros. :nuts:

Coverage Rate in term of occupation (2011):


http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/painosso/Metro%20do%20Porto/Mdp-TxCobertura2011.jpg

Legend:

Red: ≤30%

Yellow: 30%-50%

Orange: 50%-70%

Green: 70%-100%

Blue: >100%



Other data:

- In 2011 the Revenue covers 88,7% of the Costs of Operation;

- 0,1379€ »» is the cost for transporting a passenger for each kilometer;

- 0,1223€ »» is the revenue for transporting a passenger for each kilometer.

^^

It is odd that some of the sections with a lower coverage rate belong to new built sections (i.e. Carreira - Fanzeres).

Is that due to a low passenger demand or to a high train offer?

The reason for Carreira-Fânzeres is because of design, what i mean is that the line was suppost to continue for more 6/7 Km due south to the city of Gondomar, but it stops in the middle of nowhere. A second reason is becuase of the ticket zoning for the last 2 stops (Fânzeres and Venda Nova) that make the voyages more expensive!!



IPO-Hosp. São João »»» the reason is due to the close proximity between the two stations, because of political reasons between Metro do Porto and the Hospital administration!!



Brito Capelo-Sr. do Matosinhos »»» the reason is also the not continuation of the line to Leça da Palmeira (across the Leixões Harbour), this expansion is on hault waiting for better days!!

It's quite usual that the last section of a radial line has the lowest ridership.

As if in any country in the world public transport infrastructure pays for itself directly.
If yearly loss includes repayment of loans, conclusion that every ride creates a loss of 7,1 Euro is nonsense.
