Budapest has a right to be proud of its public transport network. Within the entire populated area of Budapest one can find a stop/station within 400 meters. The network of tram, trolleybus and bus lines run by the BKV transport company is extensive; the transport is clean and fast, and it always comes on schedule.

There are some routes, which buses may have both a black and a red number. In this case, the red-numbered bus is the express, which makes limited stops. You may check the route and schedule at the stops/stations.

A wide variety of buses, trolley buses, trams and underground trains usually operate from 04:30 to 23:00, and there are 30 night buses.

Ticket Controls are quite frequent and fines are high (2,000 HUF). Inspections are performed by BKV agents wearing red armbands.

NOTE:

Remember that you must validate another ticket if you change the line!
