Even before mobility was at the centre of the media agenda, in 2016 Cascais City Council invested in MobiCascais, an integrated mobility system that revolutionised public transport policy in the municipality and in Portugal. Since 2020, with free access to the MobiCascais bus network for those who live, work or study in the municipality, the people of Cascais have increasingly embraced public transport and made it an integral part of their daily lives.
9.5 million passengers a year
By investing in free road mobility since 2020, it has been possible to double the number of journeys made, increase the number of kilometres travelled by 85% and transport 9.5 million passengers a year, who choose MobiCascais bus lines to travel around the municipality every day.
7 million km/year on 44 lines
In 2021, the municipal public road transport network had 23 lines. That year, 96 new, more sustainable and environmentally friendly buses came into service, allowing the network to be expanded. Today, Cascais has 44 MobiCascais bus lines in operation, covering around seven million kilometres a year, serving all four parishes, ensuring greater territorial cohesion through public transport.
More than 135,000 travellers
The Viver Cascais Card has brought many benefits to the people of Cascais, including in the area of mobility. In 2024, more than 135,000 journeys on the MobiCascais lines were validated with the ‘Viver Cascais’ Card. Membership of this municipal benefit, which gives free access to public transport within the municipality, has grown by 267% since 2020, representing an added value not only for residents, workers and students, but also for the environment, as fewer cars circulating reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
600 new charging points in the municipality
The installation of 600 charging points for electric vehicles in all parishes is underway. Covering all parishes, almost two hundred electric chargers have already been installed: 22 in Alcabideche, 37 in S. Domingos de Rana, 62 in Cascais-Estoril and 52 in Carcavelos-Parede.

MobiCascais is a free APP that gathers information from several mobility operators and allows users to search and select the best travel option for their needs. In addition to consultation, several services may be paid for directly on the APP, simplifying the access to the public network in a simple and transparent manner.
The APP presents the mobility offer available in Cascais and reinforces the complementarity of the mobility network: whether through public transport, bike sharing or public parking lots, users now have access to an overview of their entire mobility path.
The circular route that connects Cascais Station to Guincho (line M43) is composed of buses fully powered by hydrogen, and is the result of the municipality's continuous effort to reduce its ecological footprint and contribute to sustainable mobility.
The hydrogen cell allows greater efficiency and autonomy when compared to other electric vehicles, also ensuring zero emissions of greenhouse gases.
These buses result from national technology and are 100% produced in Portugal. In addition to their construction, the supply itself will be provided by the municipality, through a pioneering project that intends to transform landfill waste into sustainable fuel. In this way, not only is an alternative solution to fossil fuel created, but it also contributes to the reduction of C02 emissions during the waste treatment processes.
Cascais Próxima implemented an pilot-project of intelligent parking system using parking space sensing and intelligent cameras.
Based on this system, drivers driving to the busiest roads in Cascais will be able to find available parking spaces in real time, and to know the occupancy rate of the places they are heading to through information panels updated at the moment.
