Mobility
What is happening with the Lisbon Metro escalators and elevators?
Lisbon Metro has been experiencing historically high rates of mechanical equipment failures, with elevator unavailability reaching nearly 25% in 2025. While maintenance strategies have recently shifted and show some signs of improvement, the network still faces long-term outages, including cases lasting over three years due to jurisdictional disputes, such as at Cais do Sodré station.
Why it matters
If you rely on elevators for mobility, whether due to a disability or because you are traveling with a stroller, expect continued inconsistency across the network, as a significant portion of equipment remains out of service for extended periods.ObservadorRead original ↗
