How to Get Here, Although There Can Be Other Possibilities, Combining Public Transportation How to get to FCT- UNL The “International Symposium on Cultural Property Risk Analysis” will be held in Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT-UNL). The FCT campus is located south of Lisbon, just across the bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril). The campus is served by a wide transport network, including combined services (bus, train, ferry) and by tram, which terminus ("University") is located along one of the FCT entrances as you can see on the campus map (see Fig. 1 and 2) (Modified from Google Maps) Fig.1 - Map showing how to get to FCT-UNL when coming from Lisboa. The blue line marks the Fertagus train (that crosses Tagus river bridge), the yellow line the Tram (or surface Metro) that can be taken in “Pragal” train station and it will end in one of the FCT entrances (near the “Biblioteca” library). In red is the road (IC 20) from those you come by car. This road will take you to FCT main entrance. Fig. 2 - FCT-UNL campus map showing the buildings where Symposium, Poster session and Workshop will take place. It also has the information about here to eat (coffee and lunch) and the two main entrances to the campus: from the Tram entrance and the main entrance. How to get FCT from the airport? 1) By Taxi There are always plenty of taxis at the Arrivals and Departures Halls. All the taxis have meters, a ride to FCT/UNL costs approximately €30, depending on the traffic. During weekends, nights, and holidays there is a 20% surcharge. or There is a taxi stand just in front of the exit from the arrivals hall. You can take a taxi yourself, or you can buy a taxi voucher inside the arrivals hall (safer option). The price of the voucher to FCT or to Costa de Caparica is € 30,54 during the day and € 36,65 in the night. The office is open from 7 AM till 24 PM every day. The staff will take you to your taxi and you won't have to deal with the taxi driver about money at all. 2) By Public transportation Here are some suggestions about how to get here, although there can be other possibilities, combining public transportation. I advise you to choose an alternative that uses the Fertagus train and the Tram to avoid traffic. a. This suggestion involves taking a Bus, a Train and a Tram Exit the arrivals hall and turn right and you will find the bus stations. Bus (CARRIS N.º 96) - available every day, every 30 minutes between 7am and 11pm, this bus connects Gare Oriente - Airport - Entrecampos - Sete Rios - Praça de Espanha. Leave the Bus in "Entrecampos" or "Sete Rios". Take the Train (FERTAGUS – the train that crosses the bridge) towards "Setúbal". Leave the Train in "Pragal", that is the first stop after crossing the bridge. Go up to the street where you can take the Tram towards "Universidade". Leave the Tram in the last stop. b. This suggestion involves taking a Bus, a Ferryboat and a Tram (surface metro)/or a second bus. Exit the arrivals hall and turn right. You will find two bus stops. Wait at the second one for one of all the buses and they all have a final stop at “Cais do Sodré”, so you cannot miss your destination. The ride takes 25 - 40 minutes depending on which bus you take. You can also take the Buses number 44, 45 or 208 towards "Cais do Sodré". Leave the Bus in "Cais do Sodré". Bus number 208 operates from 23:30 until 04:30. Bus number 44 operates from 5:35 (6:30 on Sundays) until 20:40. When in “Cais do Sodré” take the Ferryboat to "Cacilhas". In "Cacilhas" (on south bank of Tagus River). take the Tram towards "Universidade". Leave the tram in the last stop (Universidade) (located near one of the campus entrances; near the “Biblioteca” building) There is a special shuttle bus (CARRIS nr 91), that takes passengers to Lisbon downtown in 20 minutes. This is a special Airport shuttle bus and it operates from 7:00 until 23:00; you can buy the ticket from the driver. The bus will stop at “Cais do Sodré” Train Station, next to the Ferryboat Station, where you can take a Ferry to “Cacilhas”. Once in “Cacilhas” you can take a Tram (MST – Metro Sul do Tejo) to “Universidade”, hopping off on its terminus (located near one of the campus entrances; near the “Biblioteca” building) From “Cacilhas” you can also take one TST buses with the following destinations: “Marisol”, “Fonte da Telha” or “Costa de Caparica – via Almada”. You can buy the ticket from the driver. They all stop next to the FCT main entrance. 3) By car Follow the directions to “A2 Sul”. Cross the “25 de Abril” bridge towards south (“Sul”), take the first exit after the bridge, entering the expressway to Caparica (IC20), follow the sign “Universidade” and you will arrive at the FCT main entrance. How to get FCT from Lisbon? 1) By Public transportation a. This suggestion involves taking a underground (Metro), a Train and a Tram (surface metro)/or a second bus. If you are in Lisbon near a underground (Metro) station you can catch the Train (FERTAGUS – the train that crosses the bridge) towards "Setúbal" in the following underground (see Metro map) stations: - “Sete Rios” or “Jardim Zoológico” underground station “blue line” - “Entre campos” underground station (yellow line) - “Campo Grande” underground station (yellow line and green line) - “Gare do oriente” underground station (red line) Leave the Train in "Pragal", that is the first stop after crossing the bridge. Go up to the street where you can take the Tram towards "Universidade". Leave the Tram in the last stop. b. This suggestion involves taking the Underground (Metro), a Ferryboat and a Tram (surface metro)/or bus. If you are in Lisbon near an underground (Metro) station you can go to “Cais do Sodré” (green line) and catch the Ferryboat to “Cacilhas”. From “Cacilhas” you can choose between taking a bus or the Tram to “Universidade” and go out at the last station. (see point 2 for details on bus and tram. c.

  • Nightlife in Lisbon and in Porto
    Nightlife in Lisbon and in Porto ABOUT Nightlife in Lisbon and in Porto Portugal by... Condé Nast traveler When dusk stretches its mantle over the city of Seven Hills, when the litany of squealing trams gradually dies down, Lisbon prepares to show its most versatile and eclectic side. Because night-time in the Portuguese capital is full of possibilities capable of satisfying the most demanding night owls: terraces to chill out, from where it is possible to admire the magical palette of colours in the evening sky, dancing in nightclubs to the latest electronic music from Europe, meeting artists in industrial spaces in the purest style of Berlin or immersing oneself in the Portuguese culture of fado and "saudade" in traditional but modernised fado houses. All this is possible in this city that may seem melancholy during the day, but is cheerful and vibrant like few others by night. Cais do Sodré, the Bohemian night An area formerly littered with brothels and gambling houses where sailors went for a night of delight and a pair of arms in which to lose themselves after the hard months at sea, it has now been transformed into one of the most vibrant night spots in Lisbon. The epicentre of this old/former Red Light District is Rua Nova do Carvalho, a street whose provocative garish pink- painted asphalt is home to a variety of unique and unusual places where you can watch a burlesque show, drink a cocktail whose name would shock our mothers (such as "chic whore"), eat some Portuguese tapas between drinks or watch an innovative live concert.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • Integration of Renewable Energies for Trolleybus and Mini-Bus Lines in Coimbra
    Page 0863 World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 3 - ISSN 2032-6653 - © 2009 AVERE EVS24 Stavanger, Norway, May 13-16, 2009 Integration of Renewable Energies for Trolleybus and Mini-Bus Lines in Coimbra Aníbal T. de Almeida1, Carlos Inverno1, Luís Santos2 1Dep. Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Coimbra, [email protected] 2Coimbra Municipality Urban Transport Services Abstract Trolleybuses and electric mini-buses in the Portuguese city of Coimbra are one of the main forms of daily transportation of its many citizens. As part of CIVITAS MODERN European Project MObility, Development and Energy use ReductioN, one of its main objectives for Coimbra is the integration of clean production electricity system owned by the City Council, able to supply the energy to the trolleybus traction lines, plus electric energy to charge the batteries of the electric mini-buses fleet. This electric fleet is undergoing a significant expansion in the near future. A study was carried out in order to evaluate the potential of renewable energy production to supply the electric fleet public transportation in Coimbra, reducing the necessity of fossil fuels and associated emissions, therefore improving the air quality. The electricity source will be a low head hydro potential, using an already existing dam-bridge, where a group of turbine-generators units can be placed, with modest operation costs and reduced civil works with small environmental impact. The optimization of the renewable energy generation is also assessed as a function of the load profiles. Keywords: Trolleybus lines, public transport, electric vehicles, energy consumption, emissions reduction, hydropower transportation system by implementing several 1 Introduction measures as part of the concept of sustainable mobility.
