I have lost my Anonymous General BAT Card or it has been stolen, can I replace it?
No. As it has not been personalised, it has therefore not been assigned to a specific person and cannot be replaced. The balance can only be recovered if the card, even if it is anonymous, has been registered with the Tram Information Office (OIT). In this case, the balance will be transferred at the OIT two days after the lost or stolen card has been blocked, after updating the data from all the operators. The new card will cost three euros.
If the BAT Card has a fault or has been damaged, can I ask for another one?
If it has a fault, it will be exchanged for a new one free of cost during the first four years, whether it is anonymous or registered. To transfer the balance, you will have to visit the Tram Information Office (OIT) the next day, once the usage data from all the operators have been updated. If the holder of the card is responsible for the damage, the card cannot be replaced, although the balance will be transferred under the guidelines mentioned above.
