Tickets, passes and validation
Choose an ATM ticket based on how long you need to travel, and validate it when you start and whenever you change transport.
ATM offers several Mi1–Mi3 ticket options: a standard ticket is valid for 90 minutes from first validation; a single-day ticket is valid for 24 hours and allows unlimited journeys; and a 3-day ticket allows unlimited journeys from first validation until the end of service on the third day.
A 10-ticket carnet contains tickets valid for 90 minutes each, but one ticket cannot be used by more than one person at the same time.
You can buy ATM tickets at automatic vending machines in metro stations, from authorized retailers, through the ATM app, or by SMS to 48444. Contactless payment is also available on ATM services with contactless credit or debit cards and compatible phones or watches. Use the same card or device throughout your journey.
Validate tickets and travel passes at the start of a journey and each time you change transport. On the metro, touch in at the entry turnstile and touch out at the exit. Fares and ticket conditions can change, so check the official site before you go.
