The Subway has seen the most significant improvement. To date, it has four lines operating that link the metro to major bus, train and ferry services, and also provide transport from Lisbon’s suburbs to the commercial heart of the city, along the north bank of the river.

There are a large number of tram and buses circulating in Lisbon. Their services are supplied by Carris company.

Trams are one of the most pleasant ways of sightseeing in Lisbon. However, they only operate in a very limited area of the city, along the river and around the hilly part of Lisbon. New trams with much greater capacity have recently been introduced to replace the much loved but ageing predecessors, built at the beginning of the 20^th century.

Bus transport system in Lisbon is presently more extensive than either the metro or the tram system and offers better access to sights. However, it is more expensive and less reliable then travelling in metro.

The state-owned railway company, Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses (CP), which operates all trains in Portugal. There are four main lines that connect Lisbon and suburban zones with regular trains.
