Public Transit Lab
Portugal's public transit
3.3/ 5
A measured 0-5 score of how much of daily life is reachable without a car, built from GTFS timetables and OpenStreetMap across 9.1M residents — the measured urban footprint of Portugal's 67 scored agglomerations.
Who can reach transit, by mode
Residents within about 800 m of each mode, as a share of Portugal's measured urban footprint. Bars overlap — a resident near both a metro and a bus stop counts in both.
