TIP
When you are paying for your tickets, a new page on the website or a pop-up screen should open. Certain cookies can sometimes block the purchase. It is therefore best to delete all cookies to ensure that this does not happen.
If you cannot be issued with a ticket for technical reasons you will receive an error message. The payment process will then stop and your ticket will not be charged for. This error message is not a valid ticket. Try to complete the purchase again. If it still doesn’t work, you will need to buy an sms-ticket or another valid ticket.
Payment not working? don't worry: we’ll be happy to help you if you let us know through the contact form.
Always activate your ticket before boarding and show it to the driver when you board. If you don’t activate an ticket until you are on the vehicle, you risk being fined for travelling without a ticket.
