Purchasing
There is a search bar and a list of all railway stations for navigation. Users can enter the name of the region where they would like to go and see train platforms nearby. It is possible to buy numerous types of tickets such as one-way, round-trip, 7-day, monthly and 10 day flex.

There are tickets for numerous demographics. The list includes standard, military, disabled, senior and medicare categories. The last three types come with a significant discount.
