CARRIS flags route change for line 22B in Lisbon

What happened

CARRIS, the municipal public transport operator in Lisbon, has published a service-change notice for its route 22B. The notice is titled "22B | Alteração de percurso" — a change of route or itinerary — and carries the date 03.10.2026, which in Portuguese day-month-year format corresponds to 3 October 2026.

The listing's own summary text is only a placeholder in Portuguese: "Saber mais informação aqui" ("find out more here"). The notice as published does not state which stops, streets or time periods are affected, nor does it give a reason for the change or name replacement stops.

Beyond the route number, the date and the fact that a route change is planned, no further operational detail was available in the material reviewed.

Why it matters for international residents

Line 22B serves the CARRIS network in Lisbon, which many international residents use for commuting, school runs, errands and connections to the metro, trains and ferries. A route change — rather than a simple timetable adjustment — means the vehicle may no longer follow its usual path, which can affect the stops you normally board at or get off at.

Because the notice provides no stop-level information, residents who rely on 22B cannot yet tell from this listing alone whether their nearest stop is affected. Anyone whose routine depends on a specific stop, or who has built a transfer around it, should treat the published date as one to verify rather than assume the route is unchanged.

What to do next

• Open the CARRIS service-changes page for line 22B and read the full notice, since the summary line on this listing is only a link prompt: https://www.carris.pt/viaje/alteracoes-de-servico/osdo2582026
• If you use 22B regularly, check for an updated itinerary or stop list close to 3 October 2026, as operators sometimes add detail nearer the date.
• Plan an alternative in advance — a nearby CARRIS route, the metro, or a different stop on the same corridor — in case your usual stop is dropped.
• For live, day-of information, check CARRIS's own channels rather than third-party apps, which may not reflect a newly announced route change immediately.
