Lisbon - A transport strike Monday disrupted rail traffic in Portugal, with only one quarter of local trains running during the morning, trade union sources said.
Some regional and all international trains would also run while nearly all intercity links would be canceled, engine drivers' union representative Antonio Medeiros said.
About 160 buses were providing transport in the Lisbon and Porto regions to make up for the lack of trains.
However, bus traffic elsewhere was expected to suffer interruptions because of the strike, as well as ferries on the river Tagus.
The strike was called by several transport trade unions in protest at wage freezes in the public and private sectors.
