You can now buy a ticket for your travel card online

From September 15, you no longer need to visit a physical sales outlet to buy a ticket for your travel card. In our online store, you can buy a ticket for yourself or someone you want to help, whenever it suits you.

Add a ticket to your travel card from home

The online store is a new option for anyone who wants to buy tickets for a travel card online. Simply log in, add your travel card, and purchase a ticket in a few easy steps. The ticket is loaded directly onto the card and is ready to use. You’ll find all our ticket types in the online store, from single tickets to monthly passes.

You can also buy a ticket for someone else’s travel card. Many people purchase tickets for their children, grandchildren, or others they are helping with their journey. The online store makes this even easier.

Here's what you can do in the online store

  • Buy a ticket for your own travel card
  • Buy a ticket for someone else's travel card, for example, a child's
  • View active and expired tickets on the travel card
  • View receipts and previous purchases on My Page

How it works

Log in with your phone number and add your travel card by entering the travel card number found on the back of the card. Then select a ticket and pay by debit or credit card. The ticket will be added to your travel card and will be ready to use the next time you travel.

Remember that you still need to activate the ticket using a card reader on board public transport or at the metro station for the ticket to be valid.
