Validate your ticket or pass when you pass through the gate to the metro and hold on to your ticket until you have exited the metro as ticket inspectors may ask you to show proof of purchase.2) Find your train

Once you’ve arrived at your final destination, find your desired exit and insert your ticket into the turnstile to leave the station.Transferring Lines
Some trips will involve transferring from one line to another. When you get off at your transfer station, follow the colored directional signage leading you to your next line. Again, make sure you’re going in the right direction and off you go.
