Lisbon : Public transport networks
Public transport system
The conception of the urban service of collective surface
transportation in Lisbon city is exclusively guaranteed by
Carris. This operator explores his own net, with bus services
(levels of predominant offering), in streetcars, elevators
and funiculars. The Lisbon city is also served by the subway
that, in the last decade suffered deep transformations, resultant of the specification of a expansion program, namely the expansion to outside Lisbon.
In general terms, we have diverse ways of transportation in
the regional system of public transports – Highway (with
a system of suburban buses with 11 operators); Railway
(with two operators – CP with four lines and Fertagus with
the connection by the 25th of April bridge and the Metro
Sul do Tejo [light rail on south bank of Tagus river]) –
Fluvial (with two operators: Transtejo e Soflusa).
