From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LisboaViva card |
LisboaViva is a contacless smartcard used for electronic ticketing as part of the transportation system of Lisbon Metropolitan Area. It is in use on the underground and mandatory on Carris since 2004.
[edit] How it works
The card is held near the black circle on the reader, at up to 5 cm. A beep will be heard, along with a light. If the season ticket is valid, there is a short sound and a green light; if not, there is a longer sound and the light shows red.
