Comunidade Intermunicipal — intermunicipal community

For most readers it matters above all as a transport zone: discounted and free travel passes are valid within one such community or within the Lisbon or Porto metropolitan area.
Where you come across it. the terms of train and bus passes; announcements of discounts for young people and pensioners.
You can travel between two neighbouring communities on a discounted pass, but you must prove that you live in one and study or work in the other — with a certificate of residence and either a certificate from your school or university or proof of your work address.
