Lisbon City Council is set to sign an agreement with Bolt and Uber to create 'red zones' where ride-hailing vehicles cannot pick up or drop off passengers, and 'blue zones' that will function like taxi ranks. The deal also mandates the full electrification of the ride-hailing fleet in the capital by 2030. Mayor Carlos Moedas stated that the measures aim to improve traffic flow, protect historic areas, and ensure better coexistence between different road users, while also addressing the congestion caused by ride-hailing vehicles in bus lanes.

Sustainability (sustentabilidade) means meeting present needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet theirs, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions. For residents it affects local planning, jobs and services—look for municipal or company targets, timelines and measurable actions when assessing how sustainable a place or employer is.
