The process for activating the 7-day ticket needs to be explained more clearly online in advance. At the ticket machine, it took a while to find the relevant information and follow the instructions. Otherwise, it’s very convenient and highly recommended.

Every single ride went smoothly, even though we had a dog with us—and he was welcome everywhere. Thank you for that!
