Oporto Metro
Four of the 5 Oporto Metro routes are based on a former railway with the addition of some French style street running and underground sections in the city centre. It is operated by 72 Strasbourg style low floor cars.
1. All tickets for the metro, trams and buses use the 'andante' smart card. These can be bought and reloaded by machines at metro stations. There are several fare zones and most metro routes run beyond the central zones. Tram drivers sell single rides for 1.45 Euros (95 cents plus 50 cents for the card).
2. A typical metro tram stop.
3. Street running in a pedestrianised street in Matosinhos.
4. Underground station.

Coimbra
I don't know if there are any trolleybuses left in Coimbra. We arrived early Saturday afternoon and left mid-morning Sunday and only saw overhead wiring which looked intact.
Sintra 2
1. The temporary timetable advertising a service on Fri, Sat and Sun afternoons. Only one tram is required.
2. An urban regeneration poster.
3. Our first glimpse of the tram.
4. Number 4 approaching Sintra terminus. The whole length of the line now has modern overhead wiring which reminded us of the Vicinal in La Louviere.
