Our impressions
LRT Tickets are easy to buy, using the machine on station. All teams are duplicated in English. Choose the name of the station you need and the number of tickets by clicking directly on scoreboard monitor, get a ticket, go through the turnstiles, having thrust a ticket into a special slot and having caught it a little further, and not forget to take it with you because you will need it for order to go out. When you exit again, put the ticket in the slot and, saying goodbye to him forever, go to the city.
