Paul Dixon
: No, in SP the tickets can be used for up to 4 buses and could even be used for a short return trip, provided this is within two elapsed hours.

electronic travelcard
This is a new transport ticketing system in São Paulo, you can use 4 buses within a period of 2 hours and only pay one fare. For a small extra charge, you can also use an Underground and/or commuter train. So it is not a single ticket, which is just for one trip.

Rachel Fell
: sounds right, and perhaps add the Portuguese term too, if it's specific to SP

Transit Card/Smart Card
Em Chicago o nome generico é transit card, vale tanto pro metro, quando para os onibus e é recarregável. Acho que é bem similar ao caso de SP.
