Dating apps¶
From experience during the trip of February 2024 GRINDr and Scruff are the most popular dating apps of those I use. Romeo is not very popular and Recon is rather dead also.
Public transportation¶
-
STCP is the official site for busses and trams.
-
For the airport, a Z4 ticket is needed which is € 2,25 on the Andante card.
The Andante card (0,60 €) is a rechargeable ticket.

For tourists there is also the Andante Tour Card for 1 day or 3 days, valid on almost the whole network irrespective of distance. It is a separate, non-rechargeable ticket. 1 day is € 7,50, 3 days is € 16.
