There are local bus and inter-bus.

1. Local bus:

There are many ways to use local bus depending on kind of tickets.

• One way ticket: it counts on every time to come into a bus. In some cities, you can use 1 ticket for about 2 hours. Please ask carefully in every city.
• Turns ticket: It means that you buy about 30 turns for 1 card to use. Therefore, you can use for only 30 turns and it is 1 way turn
• Monthly ticket: You can use that ticket for 1 month from the date you begin to use. It means that it begins to count on the first date to come in a bus until 30 days. You can use whatever turns you want but only in 30 days. To me, this is the cheapest way for student because you can go to school, market…without caring anything.
