About public transportation in Budapest
Public transport in Budapest is efficient and very well-connected. There are four metro lines, in addition to a large network of buses, trams and trolleybuses. Five suburban railway lines (HÉV) connect to the outskirts of the cities. Most services operate between 5:00 am to 11:00 pm.
Transportation tickets should be purchased before boarding the bus/tram/metro, and need to be validated upon entry. Please do not forget to validate a new single ticket every time you change vehicles, except when changing between metro lines. You should always keep your ticket at all times until you exit the station or vehicle. Tickets are available at purple ticket machines at some stops, as well as the metro stations, Newsagents shops and Tourinform offices.
