LISBON (Reuters) - Lisbon will offer free public transport to children, students and elderly residents in a move Mayor Carlos Moedas said was crucial for the Portuguese capital's fight against climate change.

Moedas said Lisbon was following in the footsteps of other European cities. Estonia's capital Tallinn and Luxembourg City offer free transport for all residents, while some other cities including London and Paris offer free travel for some children and elderly residents.
