Union: "it is concerning" to insist on outsourcing Carris fleet maintenance

Público3 September 2026 at 08:48

The union criticized the decision to outsource the maintenance services of Carris's fleet, considering this option concerning. Carris is the company responsible for the Gloria funicular in Lisbon.

The Gloria funicular derailed a year ago, killing 16 people. The accident became a landmark in the discussion about public transport safety in the Portuguese capital.

The union leader spoke out against the insistence on outsourcing maintenance services, arguing that this decision may pose risks to the fleet's safety. The union's position comes in a context of debate about the management and maintenance of public transport equipment.
