Arco Ribeirinho [Tagus South Bank Metro Line]
Explanation:
Don't translate it literally! It is a proper name referring to a metro route called the MAR-Metropolitano do Arco Ribeirinho.

I don't think it has ever been translated "officially" into English, so the safest thing would be to keep it in PT with a [translator's note in brackets].

A couple of references:

disagree  António Ribeiro: Primeiro: MAR-Metropolitano do Arco Ribeirinho não é nenhuma linha de metro, mas sim o nome de uma empresa. Segundo: a sua sugestão não se enquadra de maneira alguma no contexto apresentado. Decididamente, não foi a melhor escolha.
