Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the word *passe* is widely used for transport tickets (bus, metro, train) and for membership cards (gym, museum). When asking for a weekly pass, it’s common to hear the plural *passes* even though the singular is *passe*. Remember that *você* is polite but still informal; in very formal contexts you might use *o senhor / a senhora tem passes semanais?*.
