The Liberal Initiative (IL) will bring a new law to a vote in Parliament to regulate bus terminals, in order to avoid the repetition of situations like the one seen in Sete Rios, Lisbon, where the Rede Nacional de Expressos (RNE) is simultaneously the manager and a user, allowing it to deny entry to competing operators in this space.

The party also attracts some younger voters and expatriates who favour pro‑market policies and a smaller state role.
