It's the smart way to travel all on one card

So, what is a Smartcard?

A Smartcard is your easy way to travel. It's an electronic card that can be loaded with:

  • Money - your e-purse
  • Tickets

So, you'll never need the right change for the bus or have to fumble for your paper ticket again.

It's free!

There's no cost for your Smartcard, you'll just need to buy the tickets or money you want to put onto the card.
