Riding the bus

	Drivers do not always stop if nobody is at a given stop, so wait at the designated area. The bus timetable should be displayed at the bus stop.
	Most buses are boarded via a door in the middle of the bus. When you get on, take a numbered ticket from the machine, feed your pre-paid bus card ( >> Bus cards ) into the machine.
	Press one of the buttons inside the bus to let the driver know you intend to get off at the next stop.
	Pay as you get off. Your fare is displayed on the board at the front of the bus, under the number on your ticket. Change money in advance at the moneybox if necessary, and use exact change or your pre-paid card.
