CP Card
The CP Card is a personal, non-transferable card, valid exclusively for any citizens resident in Portugal, equipped with contactless technology, which allows you to load several CP Passes onto a single card, combining different routes and services, depending on your needs.
The CP Card cannot be used to top up tickets from other transport operators. In the Lisbon or Porto Metropolitan Area, if you want to use the train and metro or bus, you must opt for the Navegante or Andante Card respectively.
Tickets for the Lisbon and Porto urban buses cannot be topped up with the same card.
When you apply for a CP card, you create a CP account, which allows you to receive information from CP according to the consent you have given.
We want to provide you with a personalised service and share communications tailored to your profile, which may involve processing your personal data. Your consent is essential for this. These choices will determine how we can process your data and what type of communications we can share with you.
