The buses usually operate on a frequency of around every 5 to 10 minutes, with the schedule being very similar to that of the metro.
Where can I buy tickets?
You can buy tickets once you hop on the bus, although they're more expensive. You can also buy them from the machine in the metro stations (recognisable from a T inside a circle), at tourist information points and in supermarkets like Narvesen, Deli de Luca or 7-Eleven.
Don't throw away your ticket until you've arrived at your destination as there may be ticket inspectors on the buses.
