An extensive tram and bus system can take you almost anywhere in the extended city. A single ticket costs € 2.00 if bought in the bus/tram or € 1.20 if bought from ticket machines near stops, such ticket is valid for an hour's travel on all trams and buses. You can also buy a pass for € 10.00, it is valid for 10 trips within the city and can also be used in other Flemish cities where De Lijn is the public transportation operator (such as Antwerp or Bruges). This pass can be bought at the fancier kiosks at the train station near the buses, or at various special man-operated kiosks in central terminals in the city. There are also cheaper week and month long "Buzzy" passes if you plan to regularly use the Tram and Bus, which is €23.6 for the Month pass, €67 for three months, and €183 for a year if you are under the age of 24. For people older, you can get an Omnipass for about slightly more. For those considering riding without paying for a ticket, tickets are checked by fare enforcers on rare occasions; travelers without tickets may be fined €75 for a first time offense and up to €400 for a third or more time offense within 12 months.
