New signaling promised to improve Blue Line reliability remains in testing phase
The Lisbon Metro has experienced recent service disruptions on the Blue Line, with 41 minutes of total delays attributed to signaling and train failures. While a 114.5 million euro project to implement a new Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system has been underway since 2020, the system is still in technical testing and no date for its full implementation has been provided.
Why it matters
If you commute on the Lisbon Metro's Blue Line, you should continue to expect potential service instability and delays until the new signaling system is fully operational, as the project currently has no confirmed completion date.Diário de NotíciasRead original ↗
