Resende Urbanos[]
???–2018[]
Resende is a Portuguese transportation company that used to operate a public transportation bus network in the Portuguese council of Matosinhos, in Porto. All of their buses had a blue-white-blue gradient and later a yellow-white-blue gradient on the sides with a big logo over it. It has gained acknowledgment from the quality of its service and of its refurbished buses, some of which were involved in accidents and fires.
Maré[]
2019–2023[]
After years of complaints from its users, Resende's license to circulate urban buses in Matosinhos was not renewed at the end of 2018. Maré, also known as Maré de Matosinhos, a company owned 49% by Resende and 51% by Grupo Barraqueiro through the Viamove brand and supported by the Matosinhos City Council, started operating the same routes Resende had, in the first day of 2019.
Maré is set to cease its functions in November of 2023, as it's heading to be replaced by the uniform UNIR brand for buses in the Metropolitan Area of Porto, through a new consortium, Vianorbus, which is also operated by Grupo Resende and Grupo Barraqueiro.
