Disruptions in Ferry Services
Transtejo/Soflusa faced significant backlash this Tuesday as they canceled several ferry services between Cais do Sodré in Lisbon and Seixal, leading to outrage among passengers. Many took to the complaints book to express their frustration.
The disruptions occurred during peak traffic times, specifically in the early morning and late afternoon. Notably, three scheduled departures at 17:30, 17:55, and 18:15 were canceled, following earlier cancellations in the morning.
In a statement released on their website, the company cited technical constraints within their fleet as the reason for these cancellations. They noted that to minimize the impact of service interruptions and delays, some ferries would depart as soon as they reached maximum passenger capacity, regardless of the scheduled times.
CM is seeking further clarification from the company, which advises passengers to check their website for updates on upcoming departures.
