Ticket. Buy a ticket from the machine. You do not need exact change. A single one-way ticket will suffice, unless you plan to use the train or bus system again soon. You then need to "validate" your ticket in the thin red metal obelisk that sits nearby. A conductor on the train may or may not ask to see your ticket.
