AD’s poster over the railroad was printed with gaffe
“Road? It’s rail, Luís…”
It was after a tweet of a free supporter that the Democratic Covenant (AD) was forced to correct an electoral poster that recently posted in Lisbon.

The mistake was detected by several on social networks, including a free party supporter, who shared an image of the poster still in place.

The proposal provided for one with access to regional trains, and its progressive expansion to other national railroad services.
In turn, the government led by Luís Montenegro announced in the summer of 2024 the creation of a green rail pass, with a monthly.
The measure was approved by the Council of Ministers and came into force on 21 October 2024. Currently, the pass allows the use of almost all CP services, except for the Alpha Pendular and urban trains already covered by metropolitan passes.
