The line ticket sold by the driver on lines 14 to 19, cash or contactless, valid one hour on that bus only. Children under four travel free; no child single is sold. A pre-purchased zone-4 ticket is EUR 2.11 (five for 10.55, ten for 21.10) but needs a Próximo card, EUR 5 in plastic or free as a digital card in the PICK app, so it pays only from the third ride.
A private car to your door: €26 for four
