Lisbon metro stations empty due to strike

In addition to the strike scheduled for all day this Thursday, April 9, a new strike notice has been issued for April 14.

If you use the Lisbon Metro in your daily commute, you should expect increased travel difficulties due to a workers’ strike; service on all Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red lines will be completely suspended, with no minimum service.

But the protest schedule doesn’t end this week, as the public transit company has already confirmed that a new strike notice has been issued for April 14, again with no minimum service required.

As is now standard in these situations, Carris is expected to reinforce its main bus routes connecting to the city’s central areas, warning of the risk of overcrowding and delays due to the expected increase in car traffic at the entrances to Lisbon.
