Fertagus is a commuter rail operator connecting Lisbon , Portugal 's capital, to suburbs on the Setúbal Peninsula , located to the south across the Tagus River. Fertagus crosses the river over the Ponte 25 de Abril .
Fertagus is owned by the Portuguese transportation company, Grupo Barraqueiro . The company's name derives from caminhos-de-fer ro, meaning railway , and the Latin form of the river Tagus (which coincides with the English name).
Fertagus is the first private rail operator in Portugal. The company pays Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) a fee for use of its infrastructure.
Fertagus transports 70,000 passengers daily.[ 1]
