TO MOVE AROUND
To use PUBLIC TRANSPORT this card gives you 10 trips. It can be used for metro and bus, even to combine trips. The name is T-Casual
One card/person.
You can also buy individual tickets on the bus directly, but they cost €2.40 and you can not make any transport combination.
You can buy them at any metro station

UBER here it’s CABIFY. It works the same. You just need to download the app:
