Operating scope
A regular circuit operating in the city, with three candidate routes under study at the time of announcement: Rua Direita; the pedestrian zone of Rua da Pega; and a shuttle from the eastern car park of the railway station [SRC-PT-15]. The third is the only one of the three that would have been a transport function rather than a demonstration.
