Since its launch in October 2024, the pass has already registered over 1.5 million loads. The Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, Miguel Pinto Luz, stated that "the activation records of the Green Railway Pass show that it is possible to respond to the challenges of mobility, decarbonized public transport, and digitalization".
Demand for the pass is particularly high among younger people, with 32% of customers aged between 21 and 30 years old and 15% aged up to 20 years old.
Since the end of September, the Green Railway Pass also covers the urban services of CP – Comboios de Portugal in Lisbon and Porto. With a monthly cost of €20, the pass allows travel on CP lines throughout the country, excluding the Alfa Pendular and 1st class Intercidades, aiming to reduce travel costs for passengers who only use the train.
