The general fare smart cards (blue cards) can be purchased at the Va y Ven ATMs, which are located near all the stops of the Peripheral Ring, at the Palacio de la Música [es] and at the TAME terminal of ADO in the historic center of the city of Mérida.

Fares on Va y Ven buses and Night Route combis cannot be paid in cash; they only accept payments through the smart card.
