Funiculars, Metro, Buses, & Trams

They all take the same tickets - you have two options: You need to keep your ticket for the duration of the ride. Occasionally, fare inspectors check to make sure you are travelling with a valid ticket, and you need to either present them with your card or your ticket, otherwise you risk a fine.
 * Buy tickets from the machines located at all metro and tram stops
 * Options for tickets
 * You can buy a ticket from a bus driver directly, but it's more expensive
 * Buy a card, either monthly or rechargeable, from a TCL shop
 * Locations to buy a card
