I purchased an on-board fare. Can I change vehicles and use them?

What is the difference between an Onboard Fare and a Pre-purchased Title?
An Onboard Fare is exclusively purchased on board the vehicles and sold by the Crew Member and is only valid for the same journey.
The Pre-purchased Title is a title that is loaded on a support card (7 Colinas/ Navegante or VIVA Viagem/ Navegante), before any trip.
I mischarged my Viva Viagem/7 Colinas/ Navegante card, can I cancel the shipment?
No. The Viva Viagem/7 Colinas/ Navegante cards once loaded do not allow cancellations.

You can request the exchange until the expiration date of the title (until the 30th or 31st of the previous month). You must do it in the place where the sale was made (only places with face-to-face service).
After the beginning of validity of the title, it is not possible to exchange one Municipal for another, only one Municipal for one Metropolitan.

The pushchair must never be left unattended.
Whenever there is a need to transport a passenger in a wheelchair, and if the pushchair is occupying the seat reserved for this purpose (without the child being transported), it must be closed and transported as luggage.
