Does a passenger with a monthly pass need to tap their card against the reader?
No, monthly pass holders are only required to carry one of the FALA System identifiers or the "System FALA" app for ticket inspection purposes. They are not required to tap their card against FALA System devices at either the start or the end of their journey.
If a passenger with a monthly pass wishes to purchase a ticket for a companion, they can do so by tapping their FALA card or payment card against the reader or "falomat" once. To purchase more than one ticket, the passenger should use the "falomat" by selecting the type and number of tickets on the touch screen and then paying by card.
