    This is amazing! I avoid using the bus alone because I couldn’t find a video/instructions like this online. I’m extremely anxious about trying things like this without knowing every single step ahead of time.
    Thank you for making this!

    I cannot do subways as I’m have claustrophobia. I always use the bus or Uber. Good tips

    I've never rode the Express bus, it's quite a steep price and doesn't save that much time. SBS on the other hand is great, since you can board from all doors

    For a tourist that's spending under a week there, should they bother getting a metro card or just use a credit card?

      If you get a 7 day unlimited metro card can you get unlimited bus rides too?

    Thank you for such a quick and simple vid! When using contactless, do you also need to tap when getting OFF the bus, or just when you get on?

    Hello, I’ll be visiting the city next year and I want to know if I can use my unlimited Metro card for buses too. I have used the subway before but this will be my first time taking a bus. 😬

    Is there price difference between metro card or credit or app paying ? And for all the busses express or not i have to be at a bus stop right thanks 😊

    • @ThunderboltSu
      @ThunderboltSu  9 месяцев назад

      It is the same price but a new metrocard costs $1 to buy in addition to the fare. Yes, do stand close to the bus stop when you see it coming.
