In june 1996 frequency on Porto's last tramline no 18 was decreased from each 15 minutes to each 35 minutes. Only 3 tramcars instead of 7 are necesary. At the other hand, the tram was riding again on sundays. Something wich did not happen since 1983. Not eveyone knew this. And as parking of cars on the tramtracks is very common, on one early sunday evening in july all three tramcars came together because of wrong parked cars.
