If a suitcase goes missing from the luggage hold of an intercity coach, the operator has to compensate you. SIC Notícias reported on 8 November that a Rede Expressos passenger on the Viseu–Coimbra route lost a large suitcase of clothes and had to buy essentials for the nine days of her trip.
Under the law on bus and coach passenger rights (Decreto-Lei 9/2015, article 14), luggage counts as lost if it has not been returned within eight days. If you can prove what your belongings were worth, you are compensated for their value, up to €1,500; if you cannot, you receive €7.50 for every kilo of missing luggage. You can also claim back the fare and what you spent on essentials, provided the purchases were necessary, reasonably priced and backed by receipts.
Keep your ticket, the luggage tag, your correspondence with the operator, receipts and photos of your belongings, and make a list of what went missing. Rede Expressos asks passengers to keep money, documents, laptops and phones with them on board, but, as the consumer association DECO PROteste explained, that clause on the ticket does not on its own release the operator from liability. You can also file a complaint in the Livro de Reclamações.

People want to know how much fuel will cost from Monday. From 9 November the pump price of diesel should fall by about 9 cents a litre and petrol by about 10 cents, Correio da Manhã reports. Diesel will average about €2.11 a litre and petrol about €1.90.
The cut could have been bigger: Brent crude fell by almost 17% over the week, and the ACP motoring club had expected diesel to drop by 11 cents and petrol by 12.5 cents. But from the same Monday the government is reducing the discount on ISP fuel tax, so about 2.2 cents on diesel and 3.1 cents on petrol will not reach the pump. More: The ISP tax discount is getting smaller and Diesel and petrol get cheaper from 9 November.
Prices at individual stations may be above or below the average. Compare by district: How much fuel costs in Portugal.
