TICKETS : Always validate a ticket when boarding a vehicle!
May be purchased at metro stations, ticket machines, tobacconists and newsagent's. It is perhaps best to buy your tickets at a metro
station because there you have a choice of several types of ticket and various passes.
Single ticket (140 Ft): valid for bus, tram, trolleybus, metro, cogwheel railway for the entire length of the journey, as well as the
suburban railway within the administrative limits of MFEMFEMF. The ticket has to be purchased beforehand, and validated in the ticket
stampers found on the public transport (on the metro, either before you enter the metro or on the platforms) before the trip starts.
It is worth finding out about the different ticket types available (transfer ticket, day ticket, 3-day tourist ticket, metro section ticket, metro
section transfer ticket, metro transfer ticket etc.) as these can save you money. The MFEMFEMF Transport Authority (BKV) has
published a free brochure in English and German entitled Information (available from hotel receptions, Tourinform offices), and which
gives detailed information about the types of tickets and costs
