The regular airport ticket costs €9.00 and is valid for a single journey to the Airport from any station of the network of Lines 1, 2 & 3 or vice versa. You can also issue group one-way tickets for two or three persons, as well as return tickets. You can find more information about tickets here.
All Lines 1, 2 and 3 stations have public toilets, mainly intended for people with disabilities or people needing assistance (elderly, pregnant women, etc.). For safety and hygiene reasons, the use of toilets is controlled. The station staff will also let other people in need to use the toilet.
It is strictly forbidden to descend on the train lines for any reason. Do not attempt to retrieve the item that fell on the lines by yourself. There is imminent risk of electric shock and accidents from a passing train. Please report the incident to the Station Master who will take further action.
The platform has enough room to accommodate a large number of passengers. For your convenience, you need to move along the entire platform and not pile into certain places. The train runs the entire length of the platform and you can embark easier and faster.
It is often the case, either by misuse or due to instantaneous failure of the validating machine, that the ticket is not properly validated. For this reason, passengers must check that their ticket was validated (there is also a relevant notice on the validating machines). In case of incorrect validation of your ticket, you should immediately inform the Station Master of Lines 1, 2 and 3. If you travel by TRAM, you should validate your ticket to the validating machine at the opposite platform.
You can directly contact the Station Master at the platforms of all METRO stations by pushing the red button above the fire hose reels.
