Where to Buy

Official operator websites (always safest).
Authorized resellers and travel desks — check reviews and refund policies.
On-the-day purchases at stops: convenient but may be cashless or limited.

Discount Strategies

Look for combination deals (bus + harbor cruise).
Student/senior discounts often require ID.
Avoid overly aggressive street sellers offering suspiciously low prices.

Refund & Transfer Policies

Check small-print: many passes are non-refundable and tied to a date window.
