Comboios de Portugal (CP) is weighing changes to a recent rail pass after operators say more than 50,000 monthly users are increasing demand on regional services and Intercidades trains. The operator cites so-called “ghost trips” — journeys that distort load figures — together with roughly 20% of its fleet temporarily sidelined, creating capacity pressure and service disruption. CP is considering adjustments to the pass to better manage demand, reduce distorted ridership patterns and relieve stress on constrained Intercidades services.
