This museum has huge potential that's not being used. Anyways it's amazing and has a huge history and collection! My favourite part was all the bus models!

A visit to this museum offers both insights into the history and development of the local transport through traditional methods in the initial part of the visit, but also the chance to be taken by tram through the depot and works complex to see larger exhibits.

My wife and I recently visited Lisbon and thoroughly enjoyed all that there to see and do. We spent the first five days in Lisbon and then the last two days after returning from Spain.
On our last full day in Lisbon we visited the Carris Museum (or Museu de Carris ) as it is known.It has a number of buildings that house restored trolleys (trams) , buses, and equipment that has been used by Carris over the years.
All of the equipment is in real good shape and there is plenty to see. This is one museum that is worth the few Euros that it cost to get in. As a "Railfan" I would highly recommend the Carris Museum to anyone who visits Lisbon and has a liking for Trolleys and Trains.

Located virtually underneath the 25 de Abril Bridge of Lisbon in the Santo Amaro depot of the company Carris who run all the surface transport in Lisbon it is organized on two sections. The more interesting bit for any Londoner who isn’t old enough to remember the good old days of Trams on London street before some transport planning idiot in the 1950’s decided they wouldn’t be needed for the future London is the collection of historical trams, buses and horse-drawn carriages showcased in one of the exhibition spaces of the museum. Another area features a collection of public transport-related items such as tickets, maps and uniforms.
The Museum is located mid-way between Belem and Lisbon on the 15E tram route and is worth stopping off here for especially as it can be combined with a visit to the nearby LX Factory and of an evening the Village Underground project can also be found at the back of the transport museum.
