Established in 1872 and based in Lisboa, Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa, whose name is usually shortened to Carris, operates regular services, regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see this Irmãos Mota Atomic Urb Midi on regular service 765, Colégio Militar (Metro)–Portas de Benfica.

¹  I suppose that the presumed designation "Irmãos Mota Atomic Urbin" is intended to distinguish the version of the Urb Midi operated exclusively by Carris. ● Suponho que a presumível designação "Irmãos Mota Atomic Urbin", pretenda distinguir a versão do Urb Midi operada exclusivamente pela Carris.

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
