What happened

CARRIS, the municipal bus and tram operator in Lisbon, has published a service-change notice on its website titled "711, 746, 767 | Alteração de percurso 19.10.2026" — that is, a route alteration affecting bus lines 711, 746 and 767, dated 19 October 2026.

The notice appears on CARRIS's "Alterações de serviço" (service changes) page. The text captured from the page is limited to a short line pointing readers to further information ("Saber mais informação aqui"), and no replacement routing, stop closures, timetable adjustments or end date are stated in the material available.

No reason for the change is given in the published summary.

Why it matters for international residents

Lines 711, 746 and 767 are regular CARRIS urban services used for everyday journeys in and around Lisbon, including commuting and connections to other transport. If the routing changes, stops that are normally served may be skipped, moved or served in a different order, and journey times may differ from what apps and habitual routines suggest.

Because the published notice does not spell out which sections of the routes are affected, residents who rely on these lines — particularly those who use a specific stop every day — cannot assume their usual boarding point will remain in service from 19 October 2026.

What to do next

Check the CARRIS service-changes page directly (link below) and open the notice for lines 711, 746 and 767 to see the specific routing and any stop changes, once the operator publishes them.
Before travelling on or after 19 October 2026, confirm your usual stop is still served, using CARRIS's own information or a live journey planner.
If you depend on one of these lines for a fixed commute, identify an alternative stop or connecting service in advance.
Watch for on-board and stop-level notices, which operators typically post ahead of route alterations.
