We have listed these below.
1. It is forbidden to use public transport without a valid travel card, and, insofar as the transportation company has indicated this clearly, to use the affiliated facilities for that purpose.

It is forbidden to use any modified or otherwise processed travel card which has not been authorised, to abuse a travel card, or to obstruct or prevent the control of travel cards.
All persons who are in a car, bus, train, metro, tram, or vehicle propelled via a guided system, or anyone in or in the immediate vicinity of a station, stop, or another facility pertaining to public transportation and its associated platforms, stairs, tunnels, and lifts, are prohibited from behaving in such a way that order, peace, safety or good operation is or may be disrupted.
All persons are obliged to observe the indications concerning order, peace, safety, or good operation which have been clearly expressed by or on behalf of the carrier.
