Once you learn how to use the app., it makes traveling so much easier and cheaper! I've used it for busses and trains multiple times and am starting to feel like a pro!

It took them a long time to provide me with the pass, instead of 2 hours, it was almost two days. Afterwards, I found it useful because all the bus and train tickets were 50% off. I was only there for 5 days, so I didn't benefit much from the savings. If I had stayed a month, the savings would have been very considerable.
