A nationwide general strike called by the CGTP union confederation against the government's labour-law reform. Lisbon Metro stopped running from 23:00 the night before. On 2 June, the day before the strike, CP had already cancelled 235 of the 1,061 trains it had scheduled up to 19:00.
What to do
On general-strike days, plan as if Metro and CP trains will not run, and book any airport or intercity ride in advance.
