AMT — Autoridade da Mobilidade e dos Transportes (mobility and transport authority)

Oversees transport and almost everything to do with cars: buses, trains, the metro, taxis and ride-hailing apps, car hire, driving schools, vehicle inspection centres, toll roads, and scooter and bike hire.

Where you come across it. A complaint about car hire, a driving school, an inspection centre or a transport operator; a dispute over a toll.

Public transport is an essential public service, and its operators must take part in arbitration. Fines for travelling without a ticket and disputes about licences do not go here: they go to the operator and to the IMT.
