CARRIS announces new timetables for five Lisbon routes from 6 October

What happened

Lisbon bus operator CARRIS has published a service-change notice headed "716, 754, 759, 797, 19B | Novos horários - 6 de outubro 06.10.2026".

The notice concerns five routes — 716, 754, 759, 797 and 19B — and states that new timetables come into effect on the date shown in the heading, 6 October. The operator's page text is limited to a short note directing readers to further information.

The notice as published does not set out how each route's timetable changes, which stops or trips are affected, or whether frequencies increase or decrease. Those details sit behind the operator's linked service-information page.

CARRIS is the municipal bus and tram operator serving Lisbon and surrounding areas.

Why it matters for international residents

If you rely on any of these five routes to commute, reach school, get to appointments or connect with metro, train and ferry services, a timetable change can shift the timing of your whole journey — including any onward connection you have built your routine around.

International residents are often more exposed to this kind of change than long-settled residents: they may be newer to a route's rhythm, less likely to hear about adjustments through informal networks, and more dependent on published schedules when planning work shifts, language courses or appointments.

Because the notice covers several routes at once, the practical effect is that some familiar departure times may no longer hold from the effective date, so checking before travelling matters more than usual.

What to do next

• Open the CARRIS service-changes page linked below and read the full notice for routes 716, 754, 759, 797 and 19B.
• If you use any of these routes, note the effective date — 6 October — in your calendar and check your usual departures again shortly before it takes effect.
• Use the operator's own timetable and journey-planning tools for the routes you travel, and check again once the new schedules are in force, rather than relying on an old printed timetable or a saved screenshot.
• If you transfer to metro, train or ferry services, verify that your connections still work with the revised departure times.
• For trip-specific questions, contact CARRIS directly through its customer-service channels.
