Before you begin

Apps, menus, payment eligibility, route availability and local transit rules can change. These are educational examples, not real-time transaction or timetable information. Confirm the latest instructions within the official app.

If your bank card or payment fails, contact your bank or the official app support. Avoid sharing sensitive information with any third-party guide.
