Transtejo Soflusa, S. A. (TTSL) — state-owned company running the river ferries across the Tagus
Carries passengers across the Tagus between Lisbon and the south bank, with routes serving Barreiro, Belém, Cais do Sodré, Cacilhas, Montijo, Pedrouços/Algés, Porto Brandão, Seixal, Trafaria and Terreiro do Paço. You pay with the same travel pass as on the rest of the metropolitan area's public transport. On the Trafaria — Porto Brandão — Belém route, cars are carried as well as passengers.
Where you come across it. Getting from the south bank to Lisbon and back while avoiding traffic jams on the bridges.
The timetable is different at weekends and on public holidays, and sailings are cancelled when a boat breaks down or in strong winds. Notices are posted in the avisos section of the company's website — check them before you set off, not at the pier.
