The València metro card: TSC, SUMA and Móbilis
Which card to buy, what the plastic costs, what goes on it and where to top it up. ATMV prices in force since 1 July 2025.
What the card actually is
The card is paid for separately from the ticket
The TSC — a contactless card — entitles you to no journey at all: it is the plastic or the cardboard the ticket is written onto. You buy it once, top it up as often as you like, and you can switch to a different ticket once the last one runs out.

In València you buy two separate things: the ticket — the journey, the carnet or the pass — and the card it is written onto. The card is the TSC, a contactless card, and its price is not included in the ticket.
There are two families and they are easy to mix up. The Metrovalencia TSC carries FGV’s own tickets — the TuiN purse, the Gent Major, the Mobilitat — which are valid on the metro and tram only. The SUMA card from the ATMV carries the integrated tickets — SUMA 10, SUMA Mensual, Móbilis — which are also valid on EMT buses, MetroBus, Renfe Cercanías and the town services of Paterna and Sagunto.

The price of the ticket does NOT include the card. The TSC (Tarjeta Sin Contacto, contactless card) is the usual card a ticket is written onto; it comes in cardboard or plastic (PVC) and can be reused, either to top up the same ticket or to load a different one once the last has run out.
What you can load onto it
| Ticket | Where it is valid | From |
|---|---|---|
| TuiN (Metrovalencia purse) | FGV metro and tram | €0.80 per journey in 1 zone |
| SUMA 10 (10 journeys) | Metro, EMT, MetroBus, Cercanías and town services | €9.00 for the 1-zone carnet |
| SUMA Mensual | The same, for 30 days running | €35.00 a month in 1 zone |
TuiN is validated on the way in and on the way out on the metro, and only on the way in on the tram; the minimum top-up is €5.00. SUMA 10 is topped up ten journeys at a time, up to thirty, and each journey includes one transfer, in one direction only. The full list of tickets and prices, with the temporary reduction, is on tickets and fares.
Where to buy it and top it up
At the ticket machines in the stations, which is what the photograph shows, and at the ticket offices where there are any. Personalised cards are also applied for on the ATMV website, with home delivery for €1.00 more.
We do not publish the list of tobacconists and other outside sales points: it changes, and we have no open source that keeps it up to date.
