What are the rules for using this fare product?
The block of ten tickets contains 10 single tickets. The individual tickets can be used separately and are valid for a one-way single trip. Trip interruptions, transfers and return trips are not permitted. Transferring between the metro lines is possible if going in one direction (return trips in the opposite direction are not allowed).
For what services is the ticket valid?
Within the administrative boundaries of Budapest for almost all BKK services and suburban buses (lines 1-99, 101-299, 900-999, M1, M2, M3, M4, D14), on HÉV suburban railway lines H5, H6, H7, H8, H9. This ticket is not valid on the 100E Airport Express.
Ticket validation – paper tickets
On the metro network (lines M1, M2, M3 and M4), the single ticket must be validated with a validating machine at the metro station entrance before you start your trip by entering the paying zone beyond the row of validators. On all other services, ticket validation must be done upon boarding the vehicle or upon departure at the latest. If you need to transfer to a replacement vehicle (e.g. in the event of service cancellation, breakdown, track closure), you can continue your journey with the ticket already validated, but you must re-validate the ticket by stamping its end without the number grid, with the validator aboard the replacement vehicle.
Ticket validation – mobile ticket
When boarding a metro line or a line with front-door-only-policy, please scan the QR code or when using the BudapestGO app, touch your smart phone on the NFC sticker. After scanning, present the animated image to the staff or, if asked by the ticket inspector, click on the ticket details and show the code there.

Validity period
In case the ticket is validated by stamping, the journey is valid for 80 minutes from the time of its validation on the vehicle on which the ticket is validated, or 120 minutes on night services. This means that a single, one-way trip without transfers (except on the metro network) or stopovers must be completed by the end of this period at the latest.
