Carris – Caetano e.City Gold


Electric bus temporarily operated by Carris with the support of CaetanoBus seen at Cais do Sodré, Lisboa, in December 2016. This electric bus is a Caetano e.City Gold registered in 2016. It has an overall length of 39.4 ft and can accommodate up to 88 passengers (35 seated). It uses a 160 kW (218 hp) Siemens synchronous electric motor. A pack of batteries with a total capacity of 86 kWh gives this Caetano e.City Gold an operating range of approximately 50 miles. Optionally, a pack of batteries with a total capacity of 250 kWh can extend it up to approximately 124 miles. Here, we see this Caetano e.City Gold on route 758, Cais do Sodré–Portas de Benfica. Behind it, we partially see the Cais do Sodré railway station, on the Lisboa–Cascais line. ●

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting. By the way, the problem reported to the operator VODAFONE in August 2023 is still unsolved in February March April October 2024 . Literally, unbelievable. As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive

Despite its historical value, the place it occupies in the hearts of successive generations of commuters and with a robustness and reliability that have not been surpassed by more recent constructions, it was not possible to keep the fe
