Community projects worth getting to know.
Transport.live seeks to show, in a single space, information in real time about Lisbon's public transports. It integrates data from Metro de Lisboa, Carris and GIRA. The project is developed by programmer José Carneiro.
Intermodal is a web platform developed by volunteers who challenged themselves to map the entire Carris Metropolitana network and present it in a different way. Intermodal is expected to grow and include other operators in the future.
Next Metro is a web application developed by Cláudia Conceição and João Almeida, two young programmers who were looking for an easy place where they could see how long it is until the next Metro.
GeoBus is an iOS/macOS application that allows you to see the location of Carris buses in real time. Just indicate the bus number. You can also search by stop and add buses to favorites.

City community works.
Every Tuesday eveninga group of people, experienced in cycling in the city, get together in Saldanha for a ride around the city. Each LisBORA ride is defined by one of the people in the community, who makes and shares on WhatsApp the route map. O Meeting point is at 8 pm at Saldanha Square (in front of the Atrium)All the rides are about 1h30 long and always end with a social gathering at the end, with food and beer to mingle. Lights on the bike are mandatory and helmet is advised.
Once in a while, it's good to get out of the city. Get some air, another air, and discover new areas. This is the motivation behind LisFORA, a spin-off of the bicycle tour that takes place every Tuesday in Lisbon. There is no regularity for LisFORA: the tours are arranged when people feel like it in a WhatsApp group. The trips are always two days long and also allow you to gain experience and autonomy in cyclotourism. The trips are made by train, boat and bus if necessary. Join the WhatsApp group and find out about the next LisFORA.
If you are just starting to ride and still have some fears, or if you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, this is the ride for you. It takes place in second Sunday of every month, in the morning. The meeting point is at 9:30am at Saldanha Square (in front of the Atrium). Getting started in Lisbon gets easier and more enjoyable in the company of other bike riders; these tours seek to help with that. They are also great ways to make friends.
