Chronology

[edit]

Future

[edit]
  • Plans are in place to extend the Yellow Line with two new stations (Santos and Estrela), connecting the Green Line on Cais do Sodré to the Yellow Line on Rato and creating a circle line with the merge of these two lines. Construction on this extension started in April, 2021.[3]
