How to use your mTicket:
The ticket will appear in the Tickets section of the app, likely under Inactive Tickets.
When you want to use it, click on the ticket and select 'Activate now' – just to double check, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to activate this ticket.
When a ticket is 'Activated', the App will generate a moving image ticket on your phone's screen; this will stay active until the ticket expires.
You need to show this to the driver when you get on the bus so they can check the ticket.
