How to pay for transport, city by city, and airport by airport. We tell you whether your own bank card works, what a ticket costs, and where to buy one when you can't tap. Every answer comes from the operator's own pages, and we show the date we checked.
From the moment you land we show every way into the city, which is cheapest and which is fastest, terminal by terminal. The way back out is on the same page.
Tap, stamp, text, feed, scan, show. All real, all current.

Confusing? It is. Your trip needs just one of these. Pick your city and we name it.
Every fact on a city page carries a small i. Tap it for the operator's own page and the date we read it.
Every way a city moves
Buses and trains in every city we cover, trams in nearly all of them, then the local oddities: Lisbon’s funiculars, Amsterdam’s ferries, London’s cable car. Each one can want a different payment, even inside the same city.
