Coimbra is considering increasing parking fees for tour buses from one to two euros and potentially implementing a new tax specifically for excursion buses. Councilor Ana Abrunhosa justified the proposal by highlighting the disruption caused by these buses, stating they "cause chaos." The proposed measures aim to manage congestion within the city, likely in popular tourist areas. This isn’t solely about revenue generation; the city wants to mitigate the impact of large tour groups. Abrunhosa suggested the additional revenue could be reinvested in improving public transport or infrastructure. The plan is currently under discussion and details regarding implementation are yet to be finalized. Local authorities hope the changes will improve the experience for residents and regular visitors.
