Single tickets are offered to individual rates of the two railway companies and allow no transfers between RENFE and feve - lines. All composite cards, however, allow a switch between all trains and buses, which are integrated into the composite rate. The province of Asturias is divided into several zones, a zone is usually a community association ( comarca ) corresponds. For journeys which go beyond a perimeter of seven zones, the fare of seven zones is calculated as the maximum price. When the tickets are magnetic cards that are read on every ride, and leaving a drive target and thereby devalued for the distance traveled.
