"Similar to what is usual on Christmas Eve, December 24th, the Porto Metro ends its operation early, with the last departures taking place at 8pm, on all lines. The following day, December 25th, the operation starts later than usual, starting between 08:30 and 09:00".

According to the carrier, "the adjustment in schedules is due to the prospect of demand which, historically, reduces very sharply at this time".

Thus, on the lines that end at Estádio do Dragão, the last departures will be at 20:00 (on the Red line, from Póvoa de Varzim), at 20:02 (on the Blue line, from Senhor de Matosinhos) and at 20:10 ( on the Violeta line, from the Airport), and in the opposite direction they will head to Póvoa at 20:01, to the Airport at 20:08 and to Senhor de Matosinhos at 20:11.

On the morning of Christmas Day, the first departure will be at 08:36 from Póvoa de Varzim towards Estádio do Dragão (09:03 in the opposite direction), followed by 08:44 between ISMAI and Campanhã (08:51 in the opposite direction), 08:52 between Senhora da Hora and Fânzeres (09:07 in the opposite direction), 09:00 between Hospital São João and Santo Ovídio (same time in the reverse direction) and between Estádio do Dragão and Senhor de Matosinhos (09:02 in the opposite direction) and 09:06 from Estádio do Dragão to the Airport (09:10 in the opposite direction).
