Lisbon Metro service disruptions
Overview
Service on the Lisbon Metro Green Line was interrupted on September 22, 2026, following a train breakdown. At the time, Metropolitano de Lisboa indicated that the duration of the disruption could not be predicted.
On October 14, 2026, the Metropolitano de Lisboa suspended all train services and closed its stations for a 24-hour strike. Organized by the Federação dos Sindicatos de Transportes e Comunicações (Fectrans), the industrial action targeted management within the Operations Directorate (DOP). Labor unions cited grievances including staffing shortages, excessive overtime, prolonged shifts, and delays in training.
The company board described the strike as “disproportionate” and “unadjusted,” noting the dispute involved approximately 100 workers. Service was scheduled to resume on October 15.
