The Portuguese government announced an investment of about €80 million for the first phase of the MetroBus rapid‑transit line linking Guimarães with Caldas das Taipas. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro disclosed the funding at the conclusion of a Cabinet meeting in Guimarães, stating the project will be completed by 2030 and will support future integration with the high‑speed rail line via Braga.
