TOMA is the local bus service in Caldas da Rainha, a medium-sized city in western central Portugal. ''Toma'' means "take this" in Portuguese, commemorating everyman figure Zé Povinho, whose image appears on the buses. Service was inaugurated by the Câmara Municipal (municipal chamber, or city council) on 15 May 2007, the municipal holiday. TOMA service consists of three routes: ''Linha Azul'' (Blue Line), ''Linha Laranja'' (Orange Line), and ''Linha Verde'' (Green Line). The Blue line uses two minibuses and runs between the western and eastern ends of town. The Orange and Green lines each operate using a single twenty-nine-seat minibus on loop routes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cm-caldas-rainha.pt/portal/page/portal/PORTAL_MCR/MUNICIPIO/TRANSPORTES_MOBILIDADE/PROJECTO_MODILIDADE/mapa_rede.pdf )〕 The Orange and the Green lines were inaugurated on 15 May 2007, as part of the first phase of TOMA service. In May 2008, the municipality announced TOMA's third route, the Blue Line, which serves the northern areas of the city not included in the two first-phase routes. The new route operates using two buses, rather than the single bus used by each of the other two routes.〔("Cidade Nova, Bairro Azul e zona dos museus contemplados: Toma vai ter novos trajectos" ), ''Jornal da Caldas'', May 21, 2008〕 Introduction of the new line was delayed, because the company that won the bid to operate the line decided not to undertake the project after all.〔("Concurso para Linha Azul do Toma anulado por suspeitas da Câmara" ), ''Jornal das Caldas'', October 15, 2008〕 The municipality inaugurated the new route on 19 September 2009, Public Transport Day.〔 TOMA service runs from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:00 a.m to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays, with no service on Sundays. All routes operate at 30–35-minute intervals, expect for Saturday service on the Blue Line, which runs hourly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cm-caldas-rainha.pt/portal/page/portal/PORTAL_MCR/MUNICIPIO/TRANSPORTES_MOBILIDADE/PROJECTO_MODILIDADE/horario_la_rugby_nascente_poente_rugby.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cm-caldas-rainha.pt/portal/page/portal/PORTAL_MCR/MUNICIPIO/TRANSPORTES_MOBILIDADE/PROJECTO_MODILIDADE/horario_la_rugby_poente_nascente_mercado.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cm-caldas-rainha.pt/portal/page/portal/PORTAL_MCR/MUNICIPIO/TRANSPORTES_MOBILIDADE/PROJECTO_MODILIDADE/Horario_LL_Set2009.pdf )〕 Since 16 August 2011, a trip on TOMA costs €1.10 without a pass and €0.55 with a pass, called ''TTT – Título de Transporte do TOMA''.
