How to fill and use the travel card
After buying a travel card, you can fill it right on the bus or the sales office where you got it, or register the card in our web shop and fill it online.
- Our travel card supports all our products.
- When you’ve filled up your card, you validate it on the bus by holding the card against the bus card scanner. Sometimes, right after a refill, the scanning process might take a couple of seconds longer to validate the card. Make sure to hold the card on the scanner as still as possible and wait for the scanner to react.
