Budapest transport company introduced new ticket packages for tourists

BKK Centre for Budapest Transport is introducing new ticket packages to make travel easier for tourists as well as for visitors to the charming town of Szentendre. From now on, the new products are available for purchase from ticket vending machines at Liszt Ferenc International Airport and at Batthyány tér as well as Margit híd–Budai hídfő stations of the suburban railway line.

A new solution will make it easier and quicker for visitors and tourists arriving in the Hungarian capital to buy tickets. From now on, it will no longer be necessary to buy different products individually at BKK ticket vending machines (TVMs), but several tickets can be purchased in a package.

BKK is offering guests arriving at Liszt Ferenc International Airport a new ticket package at the airport’s ticket machines, which allows customers to use public transport services for an entire long weekend.
