Fertagus trains delayed and overcrowded causing discontent among the population

Context & Explainers
Fertagus is the private rail operator that runs commuter trains across the Tagus between Lisbon and Setúbal, including services over the Ponte 25 de Abril. A passenger complaint to the European Commission suggests there may be unresolved service or contractual issues with the State, so regular users should watch for possible changes or rulings that could affect timetables, fares or service quality.
