Surge in Demand for CP+ Card Amid New Green Railway Pass Announcement

The announcement of the Green Railway Pass by LuĂ­s Montenegro during the Pontal festival in August has led to a threefold increase in the demand for the CP+ Card. This card is essential for acquiring the new transport title, which allows monthly travel for only 20 euros on most CP trains.

This new initiative aims to make train travel more affordable and accessible, but it has faced criticism from road transport operators and unions, raising concerns about its implications for the broader transport ecosystem. As the Green Railway Pass comes into effect this Monday, many are left pondering its potential impact on transportation in Portugal.
