What are the rules for using this fare product?
It is valid for the on-board unlimited transport of one bicycle within the validity period. Passengers transporting a bicycle must also have a separate valid passenger pass or other document entitling them to free travel. If you are travelling with a ticket, you can only use a ticket to transport your bicycle, not a bicycle pass.
For what services is the pass valid?
For detailed information on the routes, vehicles and periods designated for bicycle transport, please see Bikes on board. The bicycle pass is valid within the administrative boundaries of Budapest.
Ticket validation – paper tickets
No validation is required after purchase.
