It integrates data for all modes of urban transport, including walking, cycling and driving, as well as public transport (provides price information and alternative Uber and Taxi estimates), for all your transit cost needs. It is free of charge to users and available on iPhone and Android, and by an Internet website.

There are different ticket options, depending on your travel needs and plans.

It Implies the purchase of a pay-as-you-go travel card – “Navegante Ocasional” – which has a cost of 0.50 €.

Depending on the network you use to travel, the amount discounted with each single trip varies:
