BUYING PUBLIC TRANSPORT TICKETS

Man:Good morning, madam. Could you please help me? I ‘m from England and I’ve just arrived from the airport by taxi. I’d like to do some sightseeing in the afternoon but I’m not sure I know how the public transport system works here. Could you give me some information about it?
Cashier: Yes, of course. The public transport system is well organized and dense in the city. You can easily reach your destination in the centre and in the outskirts as well. Buses, trams and trolley buses run frequently, and we also have four underground lines.
Man: How can I use them? Do I need pre-purchased tickets or can I buy tickets from the driver?
Cashier: Well, actually, you can do both, but pre-purchased tickets are a lot cheaper. You can buy them at a lot of places e.g. underground stations, ticket offices and there are more and more ticket vending machines available at bus and tram stops. You have to validate your ticket when boarding the vehicle.
Man: How can I validate the ticket?
Cashier: You have to punch or stamp the ticket with the validating machines. Look for an orange or red box. You will surely find one next to the driver. How long are you planning to stay?
Man: For a week. Or more, if I like the place.
Cashier: Then I would recommend you to buy a seven-day travel card. Or, wait. Are you a student?
Man: Yes, I am.
Cashier: Do you have a student ID?
Man: Yes, here you are.
Cashier: Then you can buy a 30-day student pass which is valid for all the public transport vehicles. Even if you don’t stay for 30 days it is worth buying it. It’s the cheapest possible option. It’s even cheaper than the seven-day card.
Man: Thank you for the information. I’ll take one then.
