ALWAYS VALIDATE YOUR TRAVEL PASS: you must validate your annual pass every time you board the bus and carry the card or the pass loaded on the Roger app together with a valid ID document.
PLEASE NOTE: the free pass is not valid for municipal school transport services (school buses), nor for specialised public transport services with a dedicated fare.
