How to say “Is the ticket valid for ...?” in Portuguese

Check whether a ticket covers the service, date, or part of a journey you need.

A passagem é válida para …?

Is the ticket valid for …?

Name the intended use rather than asking only if the ticket is generally valid.

Use it in three situations

  1. A return journey

    A passagem vale para o próximo trem?

    Is the ticket valid for the next train?

  2. A particular service

    A passagem vale o dia todo?

    Is the ticket valid for the whole day?

  3. Checking a travel date

    Posso usar esta passagem no trem expresso?

    Can I use this ticket on the express train?

What to watch for

Ticket conditions can differ; the phrase asks for clarification rather than stating a rule.

Read the whole expression before replacing a detail. The natural wording may use a different order or construction from the English sentence.

A note on speaking Portuguese

These guides use Brazilian Portuguese. Você is a common everyday address; senhor or senhora may fit a more formal interaction. Eu gostaria and poderia can soften requests without making them complicated.

Keep the accents and nasal spellings, such as não and conexão. Portuguese in Portugal may use different everyday vocabulary or pronouns. The examples aim for broadly understandable Brazilian wording.
