Fares are set by the RTA and can change.

How to pay

Tap your card on the validator on the platform before you board and again when you leave.

Tips for travellers

Each tram has a Gold section and a section for women and children.

On Sundays the tram starts at about 9 am. On other days it runs from about 6 am to 1 am.

The same rules as the metro apply: no eating or drinking on board. Cross the tracks only at marked crossings and watch for trams, which run on the street.
