Two separate tickets on the same Navegante card: tap through the metro gates, then buy or validate CP's own ticket again at Cais do Sodré — the systems do not talk to each other automatically.

CP's trains to Cascais are frequent — every 15 minutes at the morning peak, every 20 to 30 off it — so the metro and the change at Alameda, not the Cascais line itself, decide how long the trip takes.

The fastest CP trains take 33 minutes; a few scheduled ones take longer with a stop pattern that adds time rather than a change of train.
