Budapest Pay&GO – If you have a bankcard, you have a ticket

One tap at the Pay&GO terminal as you board, one tap when the inspector comes.

Budapest Pay&GO device

Tap your bankcard or compatible smart device on the Pay&GO terminal as you enter the metro station, and your journey can begin. With this single gesture, you not only purchase your single ticket but also validate it. Single tickets purchased and validated with Pay&GO can be used on metro lines M1, M2, M3 and M4; but airport shuttlebus single tickets are valid only on the 100E Airport Express bus and are not valid on other lines.
