What one person pays arriving with nothing: a Z4 single at EUR 2.30 plus the EUR 0.60 Andante Azul card it must be loaded on, one card per person, both sold by the machines in the station. The card is reusable for a year, so a second ride is EUR 2.30; ten loaded at once earn an eleventh free. A Z4 is valid 1h15 from first validation across the metro, STCP buses and suburban trains. Children under four travel free; there is no child single. A 24-hour Z4 is EUR 8.55, but the tourist Andante Tour 1 at EUR 7.75 covers the whole network for 24 hours and beats it.

Luggage. Level boarding, no stated limit. Bicycles by the rear door.

Hours. Monday to Friday; first train is 05:58 on Saturday, 05:57 on Sunday and holidays. Last train is 00:42 every day, reaching Trindade at 01:09. After 23:00 the interval widens to 30 to 42 minutes (22:57, 23:27, 00:09, 00:42).
