You may use the CARD on the buses, in the places marked by the special sign “Kauno Viešasis Transportas” (KVT) (Kaunas Public Transport).

Useful information: if you do not have an e-card with payment for e-ticket, you may buy a single-use ticket from the driver. Please buy the single-use ticket from the driver immediately after getting on the means of transport.

The tickets purchased from the driver do not have to be validated by a ticket puncher.

Passengers must get on the bus through the front door and validate e-tickets or buy a single-use ticket from  the driver. If there is a possibility, you should get off the bus through the back/middle door.
