The PNI 2030 already allows the possibility of carrying out more works with the same budget. However, the lack of transparency on the part of Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) raises questions about the viability of the projects. With a series of simplistic modernizations made within the framework of Ferrovia 2020, what is expected for PNI 2030 is more of the same?
This episode also focuses on the future of the Western Line, knowing that it is inevitable that it will close for works on an axis where demand practically does not exist and it may be difficult to get back on track after months of closure.
But it is not just in the West that there is underutilization of infrastructure. On the Sintra line, CP’s inability to increase supply on this line has caused overcrowding problems that have been ongoing for years, particularly since the entry into force of the Support Program for Fare Reduction in Public Transport (PART).
