Traveling with a chip card or mobile ticket.

Please note when boarding!

The new verification process

From Oktober, your mobile ticket or chip card will no longer be checked by showing it to the driver. Instead, please hold your valid ticket to the marked area at the front when boarding.

And this is how it works.
