  • I think “unlimited” is a way too big word considering all the limitations, I’m not even sure what’s left after these:

    Unlike Germany’s identically priced travel pass, however, the Portuguese ticket is not available on buses or on intercity trains such as the Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, InterRegional and Internacional services.

    It is also not valid for urban networks in Porto, Lisbon and Coimbra.

    Where is Portugal’s €49 rail pass valid? The new national train pass can be used on most regional services around the country, but there are a couple of excluded areas.

    Both the Alentejo Litoral and the Coimbra area are not participating in the scheme.

    This means the pass is not valid on routes including Régua-Pocinho (Douro Line), Coimbra-Figueira da Foz (suburban Coimbra), Pinhal Novo-Évora and Pinhal Novo-Vila Nova da Baronia (Alentejo Line), and Pinhal Novo-Tunes (Southern Line).





  • Exactly. I was in Sweden recently and it’s opressive how difficult it is to use cash. For everything it’s only card or apps, I didn’t even bother to get any local cash. But I had a few SEK from years ago and I couldn’t use them.

    In Portugal is not on the constitution but it’s law, a business cannot force the client to pay by other means if the client has enough cash to make the payment for payments under 3000€ (above this you actually can’t pay cash by the same law :P).

    Oh America, come on:

    • end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

    • change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

    • take religion out of the money.

    • and since I’m at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

    Thanks. I would love you so much more.
