River connection from Algés to Trafaria is 'useful' but remains hidden and underused

The new river connection between Pedrouços/Algés and Trafaria is currently in an experimental phase. While passengers report time savings, the service is currently experiencing low ridership and limited visibility.

Why it matters

If you commute between the Cascais/Oeiras line and the south bank, this experimental service may offer you a faster route than the bridge, though it is currently under-publicized and capacity may be subject to future adjustments based on demand.
