Surviving Transport Strikes

Strikes (Greves) are common in Portugal, particularly affecting trains (CP) and the Metro. However, the law guarantees "Serviços Mínimos" (Minimum Services) during strikes, ensuring rush hour trains still run.

Check the operator's website a day before travel. If a strike is announced, plan for delays or use ride-hailing apps, though prices for Uber/Bolt usually surge during these disruptions.
