Where to Buy Tickets and Passes?

You have to buy your ticket in advance. You can buy it at ticket offices, newspaper kiosks, or from ticket vending machines. Most of
these machines have recently been modernized and are quite reliable.
You will find Ticket Offices (Jegypnztr) in the metro stations near the entrance at at major public transportation hubs.
Most cashiers speak only Hungarian so its best to go to the cashier with a piece of paper on which youve written down in
Hungarian what type of ticket you want to buy.
How to validate tickets?

You must validate your ticket at the start of your journey.

In case of metro tickets you have to put the ticket in the ticket validation machine (orange coloured box on a metal pole) thatll
stamp a time and date on the ticket. A short musical tone confirms that the ticket has been validated.
Once you validated the metro ticket you head for theescalator thatll take you to the metro platform where you wait for the metro
car.
At the top of the escalator ticket inspectors will most likely stop you to check whether youve validated your ticket.
On other vehicles (trams, buses, trolley) there s either the orange box similar to the ones in metro stations, or a smaller red box in
which you insert the ticket then pull the black part on the top towards you to punch the ticket (a pattern of holes appear on the
validated ticket).
Note: the slot on some ticket validation machines is clogged with chewing gum or paper (deliberately done by prank makers) so
you wont be able to insert the ticket. Try another machine on the vehicle to validate your ticket.
Inspectors check passengers tickets throughout the day. An inspector usually wears dark blue uniformand a blue with a red
armband. Nowadays however they are in plain clothes (but still must put on the armband when checking tickets) in order to
disguise themselves.
To avoid problems, buy the type of ticket or pass that are most suitable for your visit and your budget, and remember to validate it.
Keep your ticket until the end of your journey.
Fines are high (if caught travelling without a valid ticket or pass youll be fined to pay 16.000 HUF, 8.000 HUF if you pay it on the
spot or within 2 days of being fined) and its not worth ruining your stay with constant watching out for the inspectors. If you forgot to
buy a ticket or validate it, and youre fined the ticket inspector must give you a receipt about the payment.
Tourist Scam: the latest tourist scam is when ticket inspectors try to sell you tickets although they are not authorized to do this.
Make sure you buy tickets only at the ticket offices or from a vending machine.
