One of the mandatory requirements to have access to the free
public transport measure for young people and the elderly residing in Lisbon is
to have a tax domicile in the municipality, which excludes students displaced
from higher education who benefit from a scholarship.
Free public transport for young people and the elderly residing
in Lisbon began to be available to citizens aged 65 years and over from the
25th of July and, last week, on the 16th of August, registration opened for
students between 13 and 23 years old, so that they can also benefit from free
passes from the month of September.
Regarding the enrolment of young people, there is a record
of a total of 447 students who have enrolled since August 16, namely 318 with
the 13_18 pass (for young people between 13 and 18 years old) and 129 with the
Sub23 pass (for higher education students up to 23 years, including the
exception of those enrolled in Medicine and Architecture courses up to the age
of 24).
