Joint public transport pass for Lisbon and Porto to start in March 2027. Navegante or Andante holders will pay €10 extra
A pass valid in both Greater Lisbon and Greater Porto will be launched in March 2027, rather than by the end of 2026 as the government promised in the summer. The infrastructure and housing minister, Miguel Pinto Luz, told parliament on 2 November that holders of a Navegante or Andante pass will have to pay €10 on top of what they already pay (ECO).
This is the first step towards a single pass for the whole country. To begin with, only the passes of the two largest cities will be combined; other regions will join later, though the minister did not say when. He blamed the delay on the transport operators having different IT systems and rules, and on the fact that they have yet to agree how to share the revenue.
In Greater Lisbon, Navegante is valid on the Lisbon metro and the Metro Sul do Tejo on the south bank, on Carris and Carris Metropolitana buses, on CP and Fertagus suburban trains, on Transtejo and Soflusa ferries, and on trams and lifts. In Greater Porto, Andante covers the Porto metro, STCP and UNIR buses, CP urban trains on routes within the Andante network, and the Guindais funicular.
People who live in one of the two cities but often travel to the other for work or errands will no longer need to buy separate tickets there: for an extra €10, their pass will be valid in both.
