Request for the transportation card abroad

No matter which city you go to, there will always be something to see on the other side, a place you have to commute to daily, or a friend inviting you for a movie night with popcorn at their apartment on a Saturday night. Fortunately, major cities in the country have a transportation card that allows you to use as many public transportation options as you want.

Get around your city with a transportation card

No matter how much you enjoy long walks in the sunlight or under the moon, there are trips that you’ll need to take using public transportation due to distance and time constraints, such as buses, metros, and trains. The transportation card in each city will allow you to use all of them, and at Dingoos, we help you apply for it so that you can have it in your wallet from your first day in the destination country.

On the same day you land at the airport, your Dingoos Integrator will accompany you to apply for the transportation card of your city and explain its functioning, the different zones you can move through, and the stations and stops that are most convenient for reaching various places based on where you live or plan to live. This way, you can start moving around freely like the wind in your new city and plan your next destinations.
