When traveling by Metro, you need to buy a ticket before entering the Metro
system. This ticket only works as long as you do not get off the system. You can
do as many transfers as you need with only one ticket. You do not need to hold the
ticket with you after you have entered the system.
2.-Bip card: It works on both the Metro and the Buses.
If you are staying for a long time in Santiago, it is convenient to buy a Bip
card so you do not have to buy a new ticket every time you get into the public
transportation system. This card works on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can put
money on it in any Metro station’s ticket office.
The card has a cost of $1.400 chilean pesos.
