ViaCard

A Lusoponte card for crossing the 25 de Abril and Vasco da Gama bridges. Its discount kicks in earlier than Via Verde's: on the 25 de Abril bridge it is 10% from the first to the twelfth crossing in a month, 70% from the thirteenth and 100% from the seventy-first. On the Vasco da Gama bridge the discount depends on the time of day: 5% on weekdays between 7 and 10 a.m. and 10% at other times. ViaCard ECO, for electric cars and plug-in hybrids, offers higher percentages.

Where you come across it. Commuting into Lisbon from the south bank of the Tagus.
The card only works on the bridges: on other motorways you need an ordinary Via Verde device.
