Cartão CP — personal railway card
The state railway's card, onto which its passes are loaded, including the 20-euro Passe Ferroviário Verde. It comes as a plastic card (6 euros) or in purely digital form in the CP app (50 cents), and is issued to Portuguese citizens and to foreigners living in Portugal.
Where you come across it. Buying a rail pass; train journeys between cities.
Other operators' passes cannot be loaded onto it: for the metro and buses in Lisbon you need a Navegante card, and in Porto an Andante. The digital card holds only the Passe Ferroviário Verde, but it can be bought and renewed from home. The plastic card takes up to ten working days to produce.
