Blue Andante
0,60€ + Viagens
Paper Card, not personalised and for occasional use.
Validity period – 1 year (once the validity period expires, the cards cannot be topped up although the use of the remaining tickets is permitted for the following 12 months).
Rechargeable with occasional trips (Simple and 24 Hours).
Each card can contain several occasional trips simultaneously (e.g. 10 simple occasional trips Z4).
Each card can only be used by its holder. (a Blue card loaded with 2 simple Z2 occasional trips cannot be used simultaneously by 2 people).
Ho does it work?
The duration time is counted from the 1st validation and varies depending on the travel ticket.
Consider the following example: with a Z2 travel ticket, it validates the 1st time at 11h, and the 2nd time at 11h59.
In this case, you only spend 1 travel ticket because it has passed less than 1 hour between the 1st and 2nd validation. (See table).
If you had validated a 2nd time at 12.01 p.m., you would need to spend 2 travel tickets as the Z2 ticket‘s maximum duration would be exceeded.

Concept
Andante is the ticket for public transport in Porto Metropolitan Area. Whether you take the bus, metro or train, you can always use Andante. The price you pay depends only on the journey you make and not on the mode of transport you use or the number of boardings you make. It’s simple, practical and affordable – lots of transports in one ticket or in the same card.
Validation
Must validate when you start a journey, when you change line or transport and whichever your card is – the same applies to the App. You can validate your ticket a maximum of 10 minutes before starting your journey.
On trains and subways, use the existing validators in the stations. On buses, use the validators at the entrance of the vehicle.
To validate approach the card (or the phone, if you use the App) less than 10 cm away from the black circle of the validator.
