Summary:

  • Carris strike ensures only minimum services are available

  • Metro de Lisboa to close all stations from 8:00 PM due to lack of agreement with unions

  • CP to increase capacity by 50,000 seats, providing an alternative for festival-goers

Lisbon faces significant disruptions in public transport on the eve of Santo António, one of the city's most beloved festivals. Carris, the city's bus operator, has announced that only minimum services will be operational due to a strike. Meanwhile, Metro de Lisboa has failed to reach an agreement with union organizations, leading to the suspension of all services and the closure of all stations from 8:00 PM onwards.

In a silver lining for commuters, CP (Comboios de Portugal) has announced it will increase its service capacity by 50,000 seats, offering a much-needed alternative for those planning to attend the festivities.
