A Unir bus was vandalized in Vila Nova de Gaia this morning and, after being unlocked, drove along the street where it was parked until it stopped near a cliff, the Porto metropolitan area said.
“This morning on the Rua de Baisa, in Vilar de Andorinho. [Vila Nova de Gaia]A group of people broke one of the windows of a car parked there, entered and opened it. The bus ran down the street until it stopped near a precipice and it was only “a miracle” that this act did not have tragic consequences,” said a statement from the AMP, chaired by Eduardo Vitor Rodriguez, who also takes over the leadership of the Municipal Council of Vila Nova de Gaia .
Unir’s operation, which began on December 1 across the region after years of legal battles with previous operators, was marked by numerous protests from passengers. Delays, unfinished careers and lack of information are among the main complaints.
On Friday, AMP’s president said he would increase the requirements for operators to comply with the regulations from February.
On Tuesday, while classifying this act of vandalism as indescribable and posing a serious danger to everyone who walks the street, AMP stressed that the incident joins a series of acts of sabotage occurring since the start of the operation from Yunira to Vila Nova. Gaia.
In this municipality, in the Porto area, 24 buses have already been vandalized with slashed tires, broken windows and vehicles set on fire, he said.
“All this affects the normal functioning of the network, which adds risks for everyone and losses for the operator,” AMP emphasized.
AMP demands urgent and enhanced intervention in relation to these acts of vandalism, accompanying the Unir operator in this municipality in referring the matter to the police.
