Before you book: timing, access & value
  • Check the nearest stop, first and last departures, frequency and full-loop time.
  • Check whether the ticket lasts a calendar day or a number of hours, and which routes it includes.
  • Ask about step-free boarding, wheelchair spaces, stroller storage, seating and audio languages.
  • Compare the fare with local public transport. A sightseeing ticket is not automatically a transit pass.

  • Ask for language assistance. If your call does not connect, ask hotel, station or event staff to help you call.
  • Save your accommodation address, travel insurer and your own embassy’s contact details offline. For a lost passport, contact your consulate; for immediate danger, call emergency services first.
  • Agree on a meeting point with children. Keep communication or mobility needs and essential health information available to helpers.
