A recent survey indicates that the citizens of Porto consider good connections in public transport as their top priority, surpassing the importance of price. According to the data, price is noted as the second most relevant reason, followed by the speed and frequency of services.

The discussion about the transport plan will be taken to public consultation and will be voted on during the Porto City Council meeting scheduled for this Tuesday. The goal is to assess and improve the available services in the city to meet users' needs.

Public opinions were collected to better understand priorities regarding the transport system. The survey reflects a growing interest in ensuring that connections between different modes of transport are efficient and accessible.

The emphasis on connections suggests that Porto residents value the ability to switch between modes of transport smoothly, which may impact future decisions regarding investments and improvements in transport infrastructure.
