Carris Transport Museum (Museu Carris)
Established in 1872, Carris (Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa) revolutionised Lisbon's transportation landscape with horse-drawn trams, known as "Americanos." Commencing operations on the 17th of November 1873, the inaugural line between 'Santa Apolónia' and 'Santos' marked the beginning of Lisbon's public transport network. Transitioning to electric trams in 1901, Carris continued to evolve, introducing its first six buses in 1940 to accommodate visitors to The Exhibition of the Portuguese World in 'Belém.'In 1944, Carris officially inaugurated its bus service, adapting its fleet and routes over the years to meet changing demands and enhance efficiency. Despite reductions in the tram network during the 1950s and 1960s, Carris pursued innovations to improve services, embracing new technologies and enhancing operational conditions.
Today, Carris operates a comprehensive range of transportation services, including buses, elevators, trams, and funiculars throughout Lisbon. Recognisable by its iconic livery, Carris has become synonymous with the city's identity, inspiring others, including our own logo design.
