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.
