you want to buy a ticket for the town three stops along the ticket you find after navigating the menu five times (with a queue behind you) is called ‘billeta uno i regionaldo’ and costs €134.70 the €4.30 ticket you want is under Integrated Products → Ordinary → Zone 1 (b)

[arriving at Pieterdolfo Jean-María von Papadopoulović International Airport] one ticket machine out of 11 is working it’s a Tuesday, so the manned ticket desk is closed because of a seditious regional bank holiday

The Conservative Party debated for a couple of hours and decided that no, they are not a serious party. Inevitably.
