Just like in many other cities in Europe, taxi drivers weren’t too pleased about Uber in Lisbon. There were protests, some more violent than others, and complaints of unfair competition. The clients, however, were thrilled with the alternative. After a few bumps, Uber is officially legal to use in Portugal. Uber cars must legally have a TVDE sticker visible in the window.
Why I use it:
- When I want to get from point A to point B without the small talk and taking the shortest route possible
- As a cheaper alternative to a taxi, with the convenience of paying through the app
Cannot find culture Mee app option, available:( are there any others i can use before leaving for Lisbon? Or any other websites or recommendations on the subject matter Please?
Hello Bonnie! Thanks for the heads-up on the app. Their app seems to be unavailable at the moment. Alternatively, I can suggest Atlas Lisboa (https://www.atlaslisboa.com) as the closest best source of information and they also have a mobile app. It’s really a shame that Culture Mee isn’t available. Hope this helps!
This post was super useful! I will definitely be using GoEuro and CultureMee to learn about and navigate the city during my business trip to Lisbon.
