【里斯本交通卡 ~ 可增值的 "Viva Viagem Card" ~ 我的個人攻略指南】
【My complete guide to the rechargeable "Lisbon Viva Viagem Card"】

這張價值 0.5歐羅的交通卡, 對來過里斯本自由行的朋友來說, 應當不會感到陌生。不知有沒有朋友跟我一樣, 一手都是這張卡呢? 以下的指南是我歸納了用這張卡以來的經驗, 給大家作一個參考。

This 0.5€ Viva Viagem card - a transport card widely used in Lisbon - must be familiar to those who have been to Lisbon before. Does anyone of you have got plenty of Viva Viagem cards in hand, just like me? The following is my personal guide, summarising my experience in the use of this card.

里斯本的公共交通系統, 包括了地鐵、公共巴士、電車、纜車以及通勤火車。要能充份運用這個系統，您得首先購買一張 “Viva Viagem 交通卡”，然後隨您的喜好, 在購買後為期一年內，可無限次增值 (有幾種增值選擇):

1) Carris 巴士 / 地鐵 單次票 (1.40€) 

2) Carris 巴士 / 地鐵 一天票 (6€) : 一天內可無限次乘坐 Carris 巴士、地鐵、 電車 (去貝倫區 Belem的電車也可)、纜車 (例如著名的 Santa Justa電梯)

3) Zapping (即 "現金增值"): 增值額適用於乘坐 Carris 巴士、地鐵、CP 通勤火車 (可去辛特拉、Cascais、Queluz 等), Transtejo 及 Soflusa 渡輪 (去 Cacilhas and Trafaria); 用 zapping 搭地鐵, 每程是 1.25歐元 (2015年8月)

****** 但有些要點需要注意: ******

1) 這張卡是一張較厚的紙卡, 並不是塑膠做, 因此得小心保管收好, 破損導致不能使用的 Viva Viagem Card, 地鐵/火車職員是不會給您免費換過一張新的。

2) 同一張 Viva Viagem Card 內, 只能有同一款的增值項目, 所以比如, 如果您卡內有一個 "一天巴士 / 地鐵票", 那您就不能同時又想用它來搭 CP 通勤火車 (例如去辛特拉 Sintra), 您這時就需另買一張 Viva Viagem Card, 然後加錢上去來搭火車。

3) 如果您有多過一張 Viva Viagem Card, 最好能在卡上做點記認作辨別。

4) 其實無需一定要到地鐵、火車票務處 (只有較大的站才設有票務處) 買 Viva Viagem Card 和增值, 每個地鐵和火車站都有不少藍色的自動售票/增值機, 有葡萄牙語和英語選擇, 操作很容易。

5) 過了一年有效期後, 卡就不能再增值, 但容許您可用完裡邊餘下未用的票/價值。

The public transit system in Lisbon consists of a network of metros, buses, trams, funiculars as well as commuter trains. In order to use this system, you first need to buy this "Viva Viagem Card", then top it up it with any option you like without limits during the one year after purchase (several options are available):

1) Carris bus / Metro single ticket (1.40€) 

2) One-day Carris/Metro ticket (6€): this allows you, within the 24 hours after validating your card, to ride on Carris buses, metro, tram (to Belem for example), elevadors (e.g. Santa Justa lift)

3) Zapping (add money value onto the card) – the stored valued can be used to travel on the Carris buses, metro, CP commuter trains (to Sintra, Cascais and Queluz for example), Transtejo and Soflusa (ferry) (to Cacilhas and Trafaria). Cost of one metro journey using Zapping is 1.25€ (August 2015).

****** There are some points that worth noting though: ******

1) This card is just thick paper, not a plastic one, so keep it well. The ticket sales office won't exchange you for a new card free of charge if your existing one bears any visible damage.

2) This card lets you load just one type of ticket at a time, therefore, you cannot load another type of new tickets if there are any valid tickets still on the card. So, for example, if you have loaded a 1-day bus/metro ticket onto the card, you cannot top up with CP tickets (say to Sintra or Cascais) onto it at the same time, until the previously loaded 1-day ticket has been used. Or otherwise, buy another Viva Viagem Card and load train tickets onto it.

3) If you have more than one Viva Viagem Card in hand, it'd be better you make a mark on them so you know which is which.

4) Besides the ticket sales offices at metro and train stations (only some bigger stations have ticket sales offices), you can actually buy a Viva Viagem Card and add values onto it easily on any blue automated ticket machines that are located at every station. They have Portuguese and English instructions and are very easy to follow.

5) Once the validity period of one year has expired, the Viva Viagem card can no longer be recharged, but any remaining tickets may still be used.

** 本地朋友教路, 購買此卡或用它增值後, 緊記收好收據, 因為有時候這張卡不知何故會失效, 若發生此事時, 拿卡和收據去地鐵票務處跟職員說。

** Remember to keep the receipts after buying your Viva Viagem card and each top-up, so that when there are any problems with the card and/or values on your card, you can always go to the ticket sales office to check with the staff there.
