PART — Programa de Apoio à Redução Tarifária nos Transportes Públicos (programme to make travel passes cheaper)

State funding that has kept down the price of monthly travel passes since 2019. Before it, 87% of monthly passes in the Lisbon metropolitan area cost more than 40 euros; it brought in today's prices of 30 euros for your own municipality and 40 for the whole metropolitan area, which have not gone up since.

Where you come across it. Discussions of why a travel pass costs what it does and why the price does not go up.
You do not apply to this programme or submit anything under it: the money goes to the transport operator, and residents simply see the price at the ticket office. Prices also differ across the country: they are set by each metropolitan area or intermunicipal community, not by a national price list.
