LISBON CCFL MUSEUM TRANSFORMATION - Luis Vieira

On a typical cold and sunny January morning, I´ve visited once again the CCFL Museum at Santo Amaro.

After a considerable and adequate transformation of the space, with introduction of Metro (tube) section, and some recent withdrawn bus models, I found it much more attractive, organized, and interactive.

Lots of important changes remain waiting for better times, but I´ve really appreciated the update.

On your next visit, I believe it would be an excellent meeting with the history of public transport in this town.
