    Hi.
    I get two city buses a day. I just noticed the monthly ticket is €62 which might save me a few euro. On their website it says something about setting up an initial I.D. Do I need to bring any photos or identification for this?
    Also do I need to buy it the 1st of the month or can i buy it a bit in advance as I assume there will be no-one in the bus office at 8 in the morning.
    Thanks

    Nope, they have a camera in the ticket office and take the picture on the spot. :)

    Also, the ticket office would be open from the time buses actually start for the commuter/expressway services because people with Free Travel passes have to go to the counter to get the ticket. So they should be open about 8, probably slightly earlier but I don't know for sure!

    When you buy it the first time, you must pay €62 for the monthly ticket and also €2 for your I.D. Card. Then every month just show them your card, and the ticket will be just €62.

    Plus keep the receipts and claim tax back at the end of the year?

    Nope, sorry, but as i use bus often, then i know for sure that i ahve seen it being open after 5. So might be that they close 5:30 or 6? Cos after 6 it have surely been closed off.
