  • Your payment card needs to be valid and there must be enough money in your account to be able to pay for the trip.

Tap the card only

  • Remember to take your card out of your wallet when you are going to tap it, so you will know that you are tapping the right card.

Show the card at ticket inspection

  • At a ticket inspection once you have paid for your trip by tapping, simply hold out your credit card to the ticket inspector's device.

Collect receipt for tap payments

Tap the same card the entire trip

Mobile payment cards count as a separate card from its physical counterpart. Therefore, always tap with the same physical or digital card when changing vehicles during a trip, and you will pay the correct price.

How to tap your payment card

  • To tap, hold your card against a card reader when you get on. Hold the card against the contactless payment symbol at the bottom of the reader.
  • When changing vehicles, tap your card against a card reader on the new vehicle.
  • You have 90 minutes to continue your journey and change vehicles, from when the tap is made. Taps made after 90 minutes will result in purchasing a new ticket.
  • If you're traveling in a group, you need one payment card per traveler. You can buy additional tickets in our app Västtrafik To Go.
  • If you plan on travelling into zone B, you need to buy a ticket in another way.


 

Confirmation that you have tapped

  • If the tap is approved, the card reader displays a check mark with a green background and a beep is heard. 
  • If the tap is not approved, the card reader displays a cross with a red background and an error message. If you are unable to buy a ticket, you need to get off the vehicle and buy a ticket in another way before you can travel.
