New time-based public transport tickets are available in Budapest

Two types of time-based public transport tickets have become available in Budapest. Passengers can use the new digital tickets for multiple transfers and can complete any journey, with a duration of 30 or 90 minutes, in the Hungarian capital.

From 1st March, 30 and 90-minute time-based tickets have become available on Budapest Public Transport (BKK) services. According to BKK’s announcement, the new tickets allow passengers to complete any journey within Budapest that started within the validity period, even if it lasts longer than 30 or 90 minutes.

The freshly introduced time-based tickets offer a wallet-friendly travel solution. While a regular line ticket costs HUF 350 and can only be used on one vehicle, the new time-based tickets can be used for multiple transfers and round trips.

The new ticket types include a 30-minute ticket that cost HUF 530 and a 90-minute ticket available for HUF 750.

Both can be a good alternative if you want to make more than one transfer during your journey. Any journey started within the validity period can be completed, even if it takes longer than 30 or 90 minutes. The half-hour ticket is recommended to those who transfer to another line or would like to return on the same line. The longer version 90-minute ticket is suggested to those who would like to make a round trip in either direction and transfer to another line several times. Moreover, in some cases it can be used for up to 120 minutes, as a journey started within the validity period can be completed up to the final destination within Budapest. The new time-based tickets are available only in digital format.
