Local tips
- Always validate your transport ticket at the red or yellow machines on the platform before boarding to avoid heavy fines.
- Place your empty glass bottles next to public trash cans instead of inside them so collectors can easily claim the deposit.
- Wait for the green pedestrian signal before crossing the street to follow local safety laws and avoid social disapproval.
- Ask for the bill at a restaurant when you are ready to leave, as servers will generally not bring it until requested.
