Croatia

Zagreb

Croatia's only full tram network runs through the city. Buy before you board and stamp a paper ticket once, at the machine by the front door. Only the buses make you think about zones.

ZET bus

Zones matter on the bus and nowhere else in ZET - in town a bus ticket is a tram ticket. Buy at a kiosk, in the Moj ZET app or from the driver, and board at the front door. You cannot tap a bank card to ride.

How to ride

  1. 1
    Buy your ticket before you board
    Buy at a Tisak or iNovine kiosk, or in the Moj ZET app. Singles from the driver cost more and cover zone 1 only.
  2. 2
    Buy a two-zone ticket if you leave the city
    Velika Gorica, Zaprešić, Bistra, Luka and Stupnik sit in zone 2; a zone 1 ticket runs out at the boundary stop.
  3. 3
    Board through the front door
    The driver checks tickets, so you board at the front door - it is marked on the outside of the bus.
  4. 4
    Validate every time you board
    Punch a paper ticket in the machine by the front door; tap a ZET card or the app on a reader each time.
  5. 5
    Choose on the screen before tapping a ZET card
    Tap without choosing and it takes a one-zone fare; pick another ticket, a second zone or extra people on screen first.

Heads-up

  • Inspectors work in plain clothes; you may ask for ID

    Inspectors work in plain clothes as well as in uniform, so the absence of a uniform is no reason to ride without a ticket. If someone claims to be an inspector, you may ask to see their ID card.
