行在波爾圖-Going around Porto- Caminhar no Porto

身為一個台北人，交通的便利性不在話下，搭乘捷運便能讓旅客輕鬆遊台北，再不然，公車也能帶你穿越大街小巷。

而遠在地球另一邊的波爾圖也有著這樣的優點:

1. 從機場搭乘地鐵即可直達市區
2. 主要景點幾乎皆可搭地鐵抵達
3. 公車也幾乎能帶你到大街小巷
4. 但，雙腳也是萬能的喔!!

 

波爾圖地鐵 (Metro do Porto)

STCP-波爾圖公車系統 (Bus system)

由上可知，地鐵與公車系統為波爾圖當地居民以及遊客帶來莫大的便利性；因此，此篇文章要來帶大家粗略的認識那裡的公共交通運輸。



購票 (2014)

1. 一般遊客可買這種短程票，票卡本身值0,5歐 (最後應該可以在有辦公室的地鐵站退票，但我本身沒有試過)，可在地鐵站加值，且可一次加值多程。
2. 票價需查詢地鐵站機器旁的列表，因為需視你的出發與終點為何來看你會跨越的區域，表的使用方式即為找尋你的終點，然後就會有票價列出。
3. 若對購票方式有所疑問，幾乎每一個地鐵站都有站務人員可供詢問。
4. 在歐洲，只要用到人工都會特別貴，公車票也不例外，若上車才購買單次票，為1,85歐，若可先在地鐵上儲值，一次則為1,20歐，可先評估自己可能在旅途中究竟會搭幾次公車而在地鐵站一次加值好，因為公車站並無加值機器。
5. 各個地鐵站皆有機器可供上車前感應，一定要做此動作，否則被查到即視為逃票。個人覺得查票的頻率還蠻高的，所以最好不要以身試法!
6. 應該也有日票或多日票可供購買，但有提過其實景點都相當靠近，除非真的都很懶得走，不然是覺得沒有必要購買日票。

景點區

我會暫且將波爾圖的景點劃分成這四區，而每一區幾乎都可藉由地鐵或公車抵達。在往後介紹單一景點時會盡量提供較為詳細的交通資訊。

波爾圖地鐵路線 (Routes of Metro in Porto)

STCP的網頁有個可規劃行程的工具可使用，相當方便: 輸入你想要的起始與終點，時間，便可知道可搭乘的公車路線以及準確的公車時刻表。

顯示可搭乘之公車路線以及站名等詳細資訊

亦可得知確切的公車時刻表

以上只是針對整個的大眾運輸系統做一個概略的介紹，各個景點的詳細交通資訊會陸續增加，再敬請期待 :)

Existence of public transportation is usually crucial for a traveler to visit a city, and the one in Porto also brings this convenience to the tourists. As a result, this article will do a brief introduction on the system of metro and bus in Porto:

1. You can reach city center from the airport easily by metro.

2. You can arrive in the main attractions by metro.

3. If the second option doesn’t apply, buses can also take you almost everywhere.

4. However, don’t ignore the powerful functions of your feet!!

Tickets

1. You can purchase “andante”, which costs you 0,5 euro itself, and you need to charge your card additionally according to the distance and the times of your journey at the metro stations.

2. The price of each journey will depend on the distance. You can refer to the table existing on the ticket machines by the destinations, which will make you find the specific price.

3. There are usually consultants at each station, so don’t hesitate to ask them if you have any concern.

4. Concerning buses, it will be more expensive (1,85 Euro/way) if you buy the tickets from the drivers. Therefore, you can charge your card in advance at the metro station and it will be cheaper (1,20 Euro). Remember, there is no ticket machine at the bus stop.

5. Before getting on the metro, please ensure you have touched your ticket on the sensor machine, otherwise you will be considered to steal a ride once being checked, even you actually have bought the ticket 

Attractions

I would divide the main attractions into four regions, and mostly you can reach them by metro or buses.

I will provide more detailed information afterwards when I introduce each site in the following articles. 

There is an useful tool on the website of STCP: you can enter the departure, destination, desired arrival time, then the system will organize an appropriate route of bus for you, telling which buses you can take, the stops and even the timetable.
