It was ok, at times QR code was not readable and so a small ticket was issued to pass through the gates. Would have been good to have the option of a physical ticket too.

In almost all cases, the transfer went smoothly. Occasionally—probably due to connection issues with my smartphone—I was unable to check out of the subway zone. The staff was always helpful and made a real effort to respond in English. I would definitely use this ticket again!

Very good purchase. Easy to use and very affordable. I bought this for a group and it was easy to transfer to the individuals in the group.
