Public transport in Lisbon is very easy to navigate without paying. The metro has glass doors that open and close when you flash your card and pass through - simply follow somebody else. note that you must follow somebody again when you leave. the commuter trains to Sintra and Cascais have bigger, faster doors, you have to follow much closer, and if you aren't careful, they can deliver quite a punch.
If there are no people aroundto follow, climbing over the gate is a possibility.There is typically a security man standing around in each station, but it isn't his job to stop blackriders. occasionally there may be controllers. typically they are in a big group at the exits of big stations where different lines meet, though they are rare..
In the buses in lisbon, occasionally controllers come on to the bus and check people. but the driver won't stop you or say anything when you get on. just watch at the big stops for people in controller jackets.
If you don't have many bags and like adventure, try tram-hiking. There are many old-style trams gong around lisbon, and you just hold on to the back door, on the outside, as it goes along. be careful and have fun!
