I thought that I was ready for anything, because there were countless reports written about the city’s public transport... As a result, I sent a ray of hatred to all the authors of the reports that I read. For some reason, everyone wrote that you need to press a button and the door will open, but what if it doesn’t open?? If you are alone at a stop, a bus comes and stops, you press the button, but the door DOES NOT OPEN! The driver yells obscenities at you, you become hysterical and you run away to get back to the next bus. The next one comes, but the door does not open!! And by the way, the driver doesn’t actually yell obscenities at you, he explains to the idiot what to do, but in Hungarian. He cannot wait, because... the schedule must be followed and he thinks that sooner or later the idiot will figure it out.


Moreover, such situations occur often. I encountered this every day, usually early in the morning.

It’s just that on some flights they only launch through the front door, because... check availability of ticket. The ticket or travel pass must be shown to the driver. Therefore, if the door does not open, then you need to go to the driver, if everyone enters through the front door, then you need to go with everyone and be sure to show your ticket to the driver at the window.

About tickets

There are a great many types of tickets. The most basic: one-time ticket - 350 forints (450 if the driver has it), a block of 10 tickets - 3000 forints, a day pass - 1650 forints (3300 for a group of up to 5 people), passes for 2, 3, 7, 15 days and a month. full list with prices.
Tickets of all types can be purchased from the machine, having previously selected the Russian language there. So I don't think there will be any problems. 15-day and monthly passes are personalized and must include your name or passport number. They can also be driven into the machine. But there is no ticket for 15 days (or it is hidden somewhere), and entering data takes a long time, so it is better to buy them from the cashiers. I bought it at the airport. A 15-day pass costs 6,300 forints and paid for itself in the first days.

Tickets must be validated! In addition to travel cards. On the 1-day pass you need to make a mark with a pen. We got on the bus and went straight to the yellow validator, it’s better not to hesitate. There are a lot of controllers. In the metro they stand at the escalators and check everyone's tickets. Just show your ticket and go through. However, this does not mean that there will be no further controllers. There will be more. I witnessed how controllers removed a group of Chinese (7-8 people) from the tram who had not validated their tickets. The Chinese were shouting in Chinese, but judging by the faces of the controllers, it was clear that everyone would be fined!

The website even has photos of stamped tickets so that people know what they look like after the procedure.

With 15-day and monthly passes, you need to have your passport with you.

Metro

I used the metro very rarely, because... I like ground transport better: you don’t have to go up and down, and the view from the window is interesting.

The metro in Budapest is different: from ancient to modern. From Wikipedia: One of the oldest subways in the world, the first subway (not counting the Istanbul Tunel) in continental Europe.

It consists of four lines - the old one and three new ones - three of which intersect at the interchange station "Deák Ferenc ter" ("Deák Ferenc Square"). The total length of the lines is 37.6 km, 52 stations. The metro carries an average of 1,200,000 people on a working day.

Line 3 is currently being repaired and is completely closed on weekends, but buses operate along the route. And one after another, so there are no problems.

Cars on line 1.

On line 2.

The stations are also different.

BKK transport app.

The most convenient transport app! After it, using the Prague, Stockholm, Moscow is a complete pain... Everything is taken into account, it’s easy to use, you just need the Internet.

The map shows all stops and driving directions.

Down to the second, it is noted when the previous one left and when the next one will arrive.

You can watch the bus (for example) driving. If he is delayed somewhere, the time automatically changes.

It's easy to plan your route. The location is clearly defined, but you can enter it arbitrarily.

You can set right time and take into account many other parameters.

Choose the most convenient route.

The navigator is excellent. Will take you to the desired point without any problems. By the way, I also used this application simply as a navigator. Very detailed map, it is impossible to get lost even with a great desire.

All this is just a small part of the functions. The point is that everything is under control. And special thanks for the competent routes. In Moscow, planning routes is a pain. I remember how I tried to make a route from the hotel to Yaroslavsky railway station, but he gave only one option, where he had to walk 800 m. Moreover, the direct bus stop was right across the street from the hotel! But he stubbornly refused to plot the route that way. I even got to the bus stop and still...

How to log in and log out

Just press the buttons. You can press the button as soon as the bus leaves the previous stop. If there is a screen, then the STOP sign opposite the stop will light up or the buttons will light up green.

In the bus.

The best excursion routes- on trams along the Danube. You'll see everything!

On the tram.

And this is a brochure with maps and details. Compiled for tourists.

Public transport runs frequently. On average, the interval is 2-3 minutes, in the morning (4-5 am) and in the evening it reaches 20-30 on some, but not all routes.

I didn’t use night transport, but its network envelops almost the entire city. When I was going to the bus at night I saw several night ones. It’s good when you don’t have to worry about whether you’ll catch the last bus or not.

And I write everywhere here: bus, which means all types of transport.

I haven’t used the river boat yet, but people ride.

  • In addition to single tickets, there are blocks of 10 tickets, passes for 24 hours and 72 hours, as well as a weekly pass for 7 days. All these tickets don't require identification (document with photo)
  • Single tickets must be validated before the start of the trip. When transferring from one metro line to another new ticket no need to compost. When transferring from one type of transport to another (for example, from a bus to a tram), you need to punch a new ticket!
  • 2-week and monthly passes require a printed document number with a photograph of the holder. You must have this document with you when traveling.
  • To exit the vehicle at the next stop, you must signal the driver by pressing the button located near the doors.
  • Often the entrance to vehicle only through the front door. In this case, you must show the driver a travel ticket or punch a ticket for one trip. Above the driver's cabin when approaching a stop, in such cases the inscription lights up
    Felszállás az első ajton!
  • Ticket control is carried out by authorized employees of the transport company. They have a special certificate and a controller's sleeve.

From the very first hours of my first stay in Budapest, I appreciated the public transport system organized here. It so happened that when I arrived, some work was being done in the metro, so several stations on one of the lines were closed. For passengers, this inconvenience was minimized to such an extent that all that remained was envy. Further acquaintance with public transport in Budapest only confirmed my belief that the city authorities solved the transport issue competently.

General information

The capital of Hungary has an extensive public transport network that will take you to almost anywhere in the city. This complex system, comparable to the network of capillaries in the human body, is managed by the transport company BKV. Its jurisdiction, in addition to four metro lines, also includes more than 230 bus routes, 15 trolleybus and 33 tram. But that is not all: commuter trains, water buses, funicular and cable car— all this management is also managed by a single transport company. I talked about the types of tickets and passes for public transport in.

Many streets have their own lane for public transport, which can be easily identified by this word.

Often these dedicated lanes are separated from the rest of the roadway by a special fence.

In Hungarian the word "stop" translated as meg "all"o (megallo), therefore it is often denoted by the letter “M”, that is, the same as the metro. But it will be easy to distinguish a ground public transport stop from a metro entrance. Special icons will prevent you from getting confused. There is one for each type of transport.

You can also distinguish them by color: yellow for a tram, red for a trolleybus, blue for a bus.

Metro and river buses have black and white logos.

At absolutely every stop you can find the numbers of buses, trams and trolleybuses that stop here. Public transport traffic diagram it is built in such a way that, for example, a tram route runs along a wide central avenue, and buses and trolleybuses run along the streets perpendicular to it.


At the stops, not only the numbers of public transport routes are posted, but also their detailed schedule, which everyone strictly adheres to. I've been to Budapest three times and never waited longer than the stated time. Public transport starts early in the morning and runs until late in the evening. And this does not include night routes.

Now let's look at each specific type of public transport in a little more detail.

Budapest Metro

The main transport artery of Budapest is the metro, which currently has four lines: yellow (M1), red (M2), blue (M3) and green (M4). The plans include the construction of a fifth line, which so far exists only on paper. It is indicated in pink.

It is especially worth noting that Budapest became the first city in Eurasia to have its own metro. Since then, more than 50 subway stations have been opened in the Hungarian capital. The higher the metro line number, the younger it is. Trains operate according to the same principle - old trains on the M1, modern trains on the M4. There are also those that were built at the Mytishchi Carriage Plant.

The names of stops are announced only in Hungarian, therefore, it is better to count them or track them using the map that is in each carriage. As I understand it, all trains are also equipped with special boards that display the name of the stop, as well as the numbers of ground public transport that you can take next to a given metro station.


Overall, the Budapest subway is intuitive and simple. There are signs and maps everywhere - it will be difficult to get lost)).

From interesting facts It is worth paying attention to the fact that the red and green lines connect two parts of the city - Buda and Pest, that is, they pass under the Danube, and Deák Ferenc ter station(Deák Ferenc tér) in the center of Budapest is the only one in the city where three subway lines intersect at once.

Trams in Budapest

There are currently about 30 tram routes operating in Budapest. I put the tram in second place for ease of movement in the capital of Hungary, and first for entertainment. After all, while riding a tram, you can photograph the views, but in the subway there is absolutely nothing to photograph.

The tram goes along the Freedom Bridge

They follow each other))

Old cars run along the second route, new cars run along No. 4 and No. 6

Ready to start

Route No. 6 runs around Budapest 24 hours a day

The most popular tram routes among tourists are No. 2, as well as No. 4 and No. 6. The duo walks along the banks of the Danube, passing many attractions, including. The fourth and sixth routes also run in the center, but they start from the other side and, crossing Margaret Bridge, end up on Széll Kálmán tér Square, which was once called Moscow Square.

The route of the second tram passes near many attractions

Metro stops and ground transport located nearby. For example, you go up the escalator and immediately there is a tram stop.

Buses in Budapest

The largest number of routes in Budapest are buses. First Shuttle Buses They started walking here about a century ago - in 1915. Over 100 years, the number of routes has exceeded 220. The main ones are indicated only by numbers, but you can often find routes with letter additions.

One of the many bus routes

Each of the letters means something. For example, the letter “A” means that the route is additional and was launched to unload the main one. And buses containing the letter “E” in the route name stop only at the main stops of the main route. For tourists, the most important express bus is route number 200E, which allows you to get there.

Trolleybuses in Budapest

There are several interesting facts associated with the trolleybuses of Budapest. Firstly, they only go to Pest (the left bank of the Danube). Therefore, you won’t be able to look at it while riding a trolleybus, but I highly recommend driving along each of the four main bridges of the Hungarian capital.

A double trolleybus is quite common in Budapest

There are 15 trolleybus routes in total, and the second interesting fact is that their numbering starts from 70. And all because the first “horned animals” appeared in the capital of Hungary in 1949. At the same time, the 70th anniversary of the leader of the USSR Joseph Stalin was widely celebrated. The socialists of the two countries decided to combine these two facts by assigning route 70 to the first trolleybus. More than 65 years have passed since then, and trolleybuses up to number 70 have not appeared in Budapest.

It is worth noting that it is customary to enter both buses and trolleybuses through the front door (as in Moscow), but this rule does not apply to trams.

Helpful information

Website to help– BKV official website – bkk.hu/ (there is a version on English language). On it you can see a map of any route, as well as its starting and ending points, and the schedule.

Application to helpSmart City(for Android and iOS OS). I advise you to download this application on your smartphone or tablet. Despite the lack of Russian language, it is very easy to use. Using GPS the program shows the numbers of public transport routes that pass near you.

Here you can enter the route number and find out where it comes from and where it goes. Just like in a regular navigator, you can specify the point of departure and arrival, and the application will offer route options.

BKV also controls water buses, funicular and cable car. But I would like to talk about them separately and in more detail, so wait for new articles. Like, for example, about water bus. I advise you - then you definitely won’t miss a new post.

Budapest is one of the most major cities all over Europe. Here tourists can see many interesting sights, which are mainly located far from the central part of the city. To get to them, it is most profitable to use public transport, which is represented by buses, trolleybuses, tram routes, as well as three metro lines. You can, of course, take a taxi, but its services will cost the traveler much more. It is also worth noting that the entire public transport network in Budapest is under the control of BKV (website: www.bkv.hu/en/).

Metro

general information

The Budapest metro is one of the oldest in the world. It was first erected as the Feldalatti line in 1896. Currently, the Budapest metro consists of 3 lines with a total length of 32.1 km, which intersect with each other at a station called Deak Ferenc ter, located in the city center.

M1 is a line that is marked yellow on the metro map. It runs from Andrássy Avenue (Vörösmarty Square) to Heroes' Square. This line was the first in Europe. After some time, it was extended to include two additional stations. It is also worth noting that the trains that run on this line have yellow carriages, which the designers stylized as antique.

Line M2 is colored red. It runs from Örs vezér tér station to Deli palyaudvar (South Station).

M3 is a line marked in blue on the map. It stretches from north to south, starting from Kobánya-Kispest station to Újpest-Városkapu station.

Opening hours of the Budapest metro

The first train of the city metro leaves on its route at 4:30 in the morning and finishes work at 23:00 at night.

Movement interval

There are never any queues on the Budapest metro, as trains run every 2-15 minutes.

Transport nuances

One of the peculiarities of the Budapest metro is the fact that in order to move from one line to another you need to purchase additional ticket. Yellow validators are installed in front of the escalators and in the transitions between transfer stations. To pay for the transition, you need to pass the ticket through one of them.

Trams in Budapest

general information

In total, Budapest has 30 tram lines, which are considered the busiest in the world. Trams can be found on the main city highways, as well as near major attractions. Particularly interesting for tourists will be routes No. 2 and 2a, which cover the most famous places in Budapest.

It is worth noting that the terminals of the tram lines in Budapest are not made in the form of a ring, as in most CIS countries. They are dead-end paths, and if possible this moment should be taken into account when boarding a tram.

Buses of Budapest

general information

In Budapest, buses are very popular not only among local residents, but also among tourists. There are over 200 main bus routes throughout the city. They are designated exclusively by numbers. This type of transport stops at all stops. If the main routes are overcrowded, then additional buses are put on the line, which are marked with the letter “A” after the number.

So-called express buses still run around Budapest. As a rule, they stop exclusively at the main stops of the main route. These buses are marked “E” after the flight number.

Bus operating hours

Like other forms of public transport, buses in Budapest operate between 4:30 and 23:30 at night.

Movement interval

Depending on the type and distance of the route, buses run at intervals of 4-10 minutes.

Transport nuances

You can view the bus schedule on the table, which is located at each public transport stop. In addition, it should be noted that buses in Budapest run strictly on schedule and are almost never late. If a passenger needs to get off at the next stop, he should press a special button, which is located either on the handrail near the door or above the door itself. On new model buses, the button is also pressed when you want to enter the vehicle.

Trolleybuses of Budapest

general information

The very first trolleybus in Budapest appeared back in 1933. Since then, the trolleybus network has constantly expanded and currently includes 15 lines, thus covering almost the entire city territory.

In addition, cars that provide passenger transportation services have yellow license plates, as well as illuminated signs with the corresponding “taxi” inscription on the roof.

Amount of fines

To avoid troubles in city transport and not spoil yourself good impressions from traveling, you should keep purchased tickets for public transport until the end of the trip. Fines in Budapest for traveling with a hare are very high (about 8,000 forints). In addition, if the fine issued by the controller is not paid immediately on the spot, then the next day its amount increases 2 times, on the third day - 3 times, etc. That is why everyone local tries not to break the rules here.
