I'm using a Windows phone.

The app isn’t developed for Windows phones anymore as they are discontinued products and development isn’t cost-effective.

Using the app takes a lot of battery power.

To ease the mechanical reading of tickets the display brightness is set high and this affects battery consumption. Display brightness is only adjusted when the app is displaying data of active tickets.

I have a phone with dual SIM. How do I define which SIM card to use for paying for tickets?

Only one of the SIM cards can have 4G/3G network connection and that SIM card is automatically used for operator billing. In your phone’s settings, define network connection for the SIM card you want to use for your purchases.

I'd like to take a screenshot of the ticket but it's not working.

Tickets are designed to be used in the app and screenshots are not valid tickets. Taking screenshots with iOS phones will lead to being logged out of the app. Bought ticket can be used after logging in to the app again with the same user account.

Can I buy a ticket to another person?

Some tickets (usually single and day tickets) can be bought and then sent to another person’s phone. The receiver will get a code/link with which they can take the ticket into use. The receiver has to be a registered user and have the same app installed on the phone with which the ticket will be used. Also the buyer needs to be a registered user.

Choose ticket and click “Buy”
In the next view go to “Use on” and change it to “Other account (share)”
Make sure you have the right payment method and confirm purchase
Click “Send link”
Choose a method for sending the link, and the receiver
The receiver clicks the link or enters the code to their app to get the ticket into use. Please note that the code can only be used once.
