The lines
The network has three main lines that meet at interchange stations. Check the official metro website for the current map.
Tickets
You can buy single journey tickets at stations or use a smart card for repeat trips.
Busy hours
Weekday mornings and evenings are crowded on the lines to the IT corridor. Plan sightseeing outside those hours.
