The "Bilhete Único RJ" [6] costs R$5.25 (US$2.19) and allows the purchaser to utilize up to two different modes of transportation—bus, van, train, ferry, or subway—within three hours as long as one of them is "integrated" with other municipalities.

For trips that are not integrated, the card can be used without restriction, enabling the user to pay for various passages on the same vehicle and the normal fare will be discounted.

Return trips should be made at a minimum of two hours after the card is first scanned in order to utilize the discounted rate.
