Tram and bus
It is important that you always scan your card when entering and exiting the bus, tram or metro. These scanners are inside the bus and tram. For the metro you scan your ticket before enering the metro station and when you leave the station. You should then hear a peep and the green lamp when it is scanned. You can scan it as much as you want for the duration that your ticket is lasting.
