Still not sure if I can make it to the show or not.  Will depend on how much stuff I have to do that weekend and whether or not I can get those figures for lj22! ;D

Just a question.  If I put a metro ticket on my Opus card and use it to get on the metro, can I then get on a bus without having to use another ticket?  There are no more paper transfers, so I assume the transferring is done with the card, right?

Yes, a "ticket" is valid for one correspondance. Meaning with the same ticket you can take the metro, and then use the bus, or vice versa. Remember: One correspondance. This means, that once you're out of the metro, you can only take one bus. If you get off that bus to take another one, you'll end up using another ticket.

And yes, your explaining about the transferring is accurate.

Thanks, just making sure.  I know how transfers work, I was just confused since there's no more support for paper tickets, effectively screwing over anyone without an overpriced Opus card.  I'm sure tourists are thrilled. ::)
I'll have to load up on tickets next time I'm out.
