Not sure how to check in properly on IDOL trains?

Let’s take a look at it together. Traveling with IDOL is a breeze, but practice makes perfect.

Always use the front door to board a commuter bus.

Do you have an IDOL pass loaded onto your Opuscard? Great! Tell the driver what type of pass you have on your card (e.g., a monthly pass) and your destination stop or zone. When prompted, simply tap your Opuscard on the terminal for validation and proceed into the bus.

Do you have an Opuscard with a loaded e-wallet? Tell the driver your destination stop, and if you’re eligible for a discount, don’t forget to claim it (children over 15, students, and people over 65 must prove their eligibility with proof of age or a student ID). When prompted, tap your Opuscard on the terminal. The ticket will be loaded onto your Opuscard, and the fare will be deducted from your e-wallet at the same time. The driver will give you a receipt.

You can also use your electronic wallet to purchase a ticket for a fellow passenger, but this ticket is only available in paper form and does not allow for transfers.

Don’t have an Opuscard? You can, of course, purchase a non-integrated paper ticket for a single ride with cash. However, the price is not as favorable as when using an Opuscard, and the ticket is not valid for transfers.

Single-ride fares can also be purchased via the Idolka mobile app. A ticket purchased this way must be activated before boarding the vehicle and shown to the driver. For now, during the first phase of operation, tickets are checked only visually; the driver checks the display for validity information and the moving security features.

And when you’re ready to get off, don’t forget to let the driver know in advance by ringing the bell. You must always signal your intention to exit by ringing the bell.
