It comprises four lines[4] which served 103 million passengers in 2019.

Although the Cintura line connects the Azambuja line (at Braço de Prata) to the Cascais line (at Alcântara-Mar), the stretch between Alcântara-Terra and Alcântara-Mar is only used for freight services, and passengers transferring between both stations have to do so on foot.

Nowadays, the services from the Azambuja and Sintra lines are joined in a single timetable, as "Azambuja/Lisboa/Sintra".[5]

Since 2011, the Azambuja line has offered a direct connection between Azambuja and Alcântara-Terra, with an additional Castanheira–Santa Apolónia service during weekdays, a change that will be reversed with the Summer 2015 timetables, that reintroduce the older Azambuja–Santa Apolónia and Castanheira–Alcântara-Terra services.[6]

Map of the Porto network with the map of the Porto Metro

The CP Urban Services in the greater Porto area consists of 4 main lines, linking Porto Terminus São Bento Station (Estação de São Bento) in Porto Downtown with the cities of Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro and Penafiel. The lines are completely electrified and the service is efficient, serving over 24 million passengers in 2019.

The Commuter rail service in Porto is well connected with bus and metro service in the city, linking with lines A (Blue line), B (Red line), C (Green line), E (Violet Line) and F (Orange Line) of metro service in Campanhã Station and with line D (Yellow line) in São Bento Station.

A fifth line was inaugurated in September 2009, Leixões line, connecting Porto to Leixões.[7] This line closed again in 2011.

In 2018, a study was launched into a new 36.5 km rail line branching from Valongo on the Linha de Caide to Felgueiras, with an expectedly cost of €300 million.[8]

Since the closure by Comboios de Portugal of the lines from Coimbra to LousãMiranda do Corvo (Ramal da Lousã), in 2004, and Coimbra to Figueira da Foz via Cantanhede (Ramal da Figueira da Foz) in 2011, the Urbanos Coimbra service now only consists of the Baixo Mondego corridor, from Coimbra to Figueira da Foz[9] via Montemor-o-Velho (Ramal de Alfarelos of the Linha do Norte, Linha do Oeste and Ramal da Lousã).
