“ Pwith the intention of the government to provide a pass of twenty euros in metropolitan areas limited to the railway, it is necessary to ensure, with the corresponding financing by the state, that this is the price fixed for the passes Navegante [Lisboa] and Andante [Porto]”, reads a press release released by the CFP.
The issue is that from today it is possible to use the Green Railway Pass (which costs 20 euros per month) in CP suburban trains in Lisbon and Porto – areas where most citizens use the Navegante and Andante passes, which cost more and include different modes of transport.
The Communist parliamentary bench intends to present in parliament several initiatives on the subject, namely a project to fix the value of the intermodal pass in metropolitan areas as of January 1.
The CFP also considers that, “in addition to strengthening the supply of public transport in metropolitan areas, it is necessary to extend it to the whole country” and therefore also advocates “a standardisation of the price of 20 euros of passes in other intermunicipal communities involving all modes of transport – and not just the highway as in most cases”.
Among the initiatives that the bench intends to present in the Assembly of the Republic is the gratuitousness of these titles for over 65 years, the “enlargement of supply in general, giving priority to the strengthening of railway maintenance, hiring and valuing of workers, the rental of compositions on the market” as well as “the creation of a single public and national platform of public transport, which allows to know the alternatives of price and transport times between two points of the national territory, to know in real time the waiting time for transport, also enabling the acquisition of all necessary tickets”.
On Saturday, in a statement, the Government said that the extension of the Green Railway Pass allows a passenger to “travel across all CP lines, from north to south of the country, with the exception of Alfa Pendular and Intercities (1st Class), either in frequent trips to work, study or leisure trips”.
“In the Metropolitan Areas of Lisbon and Porto, passengers travelling exclusively by train can use only the Green Railway Pass instead of the Intermodal Pass Navegante (Lisbon) or Andante (Porto), which represents a reduction in the monthly cost by half,” he says in the same note, stressing that when travelling in locations outside the Metropolitan Area of Porto “the savings can be more significant”.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing also pointed out that the extension of the Green Railway Pass “to Fertagus is being operationalized and will be announced in due course”.
