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.

If a green lights comes on, the validation is correct.

You'll hear a sound and can read on the validator screen the balance remaining on the card.

If a red light comes on, the validation is not correct.

You'll hear a different sound and can read a message on the validator screen indicating the reason. To read the message carefully, hold your card for a few seconds in front of the black circle on the validator.
