In line with the Lisbon Metro’s ticketing system upgrade, passengers can now pay for rides using a bank card directly at the validators.<\/p>\n
This offers an alternative to the personalised or occasional ‘Navegante’ card.<\/p>\n
To pay, passengers simply swipe a bank card on the validator, and the fare (standard price: \u20ac1.65) is automatically deducted.<\/p>\n
This technology not only provides a swift experience but also improves station flow by reducing the need to buy tickets at ticket offices or vending machines.<\/p>\n
However, this new feature requires careful card use to avoid conflicts at the fare gates\u2019 validators.<\/p>\n
There have been cases where customers have accidentally charged their bank card rather than their Navegante card because they swiped their wallet, which contains several cards, at the validator.<\/p>\n
This results in the trip amount being charged to a bank card, instead of validating\/deducting the trip on the Navegante card.<\/p>\n
To prevent unwanted charges, passengers are advised to take out the card they intend to use for validation to avoid \u201cundesired\u201d charges.<\/p>\n
Additionally, it is important to validate the same card at the entrance and exit of the access gates to avoid any difficulties in crossing the fare gates.<\/p>\n
This short video demonstrates the proper validation procedure for a smooth Metro journey.<\/p>\n
