Budapest’s public transport

Budapest’s public transport is operated by BKV (Budapesti Közlekedési Vállalat) and coordinated by BKK (Budapesti Közlekedési Központ). Together, they manage a comprehensive network of metros, trams, buses, trolleybuses, and boats, serving millions of passengers each month. BKK is responsible for planning, ticketing, and customer service, while BKV operates most of the vehicles. The system is known for its affordability, efficiency, and extensive coverage across the Hungarian capital.
