Bilhete

Bilhete is a Portuguese word meaning "ticket." It is commonly used in various contexts, including transportation, events, and lotteries. In the context of transportation, a bilhete is a document or electronic record that grants the holder the right to travel on a specific public transport service, such as a bus, train, or subway. These tickets often specify the route, destination, and validity period.

For events, a bilhete serves as an admission pass to concerts, sporting events, theater performances, or other gatherings. These tickets may include information such as the event name, date, time, seat number, and price. Lottery bilhetes are purchased for a chance to win prizes in a game of chance, with the ticket acting as proof of participation.

The term "bilhete" can also refer to a small note or message, similar to a "note" or "slip" in English. This usage is less common but can be found in informal contexts. The design and format of bilhetes vary widely depending on their purpose, from simple paper slips to sophisticated electronic passes. They are an essential part of many daily transactions and activities in Portuguese-speaking countries.
