==History== Oeiras is a satellite community and commuter town approximately west of Lisbon. SATUOeiras was created as a partnership between Oeiras City Council and Teixeira Duarte with a 51% / 49% ownership structure respectively. Teixeira Duarte, whose headquarters are in Oeiras, was interested in providing better transportation for its employees and connecting its offices in Lagoas Park with the heavily-used Cascais Line.
